Totally confused by the DDR2 high performance controller II

The user guide from Altera is bad ! 

 

Who can teach me how to use the following inputs? 

local_address 

local_be 

local_burstbegin 

local_read_req 

local_write_req 

local_size 

local_wdata 

 

Who can show me a simple example that just write some data into the DDR2 and then read? 

 

The so-called user guide has just a lot of definitions, but no detailed examples!!! 

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Why not to use SOPC/QSys and take out only Avalon-MM signals?

thanks, but I don't know anything about SOPC/QSYS, and I don't want to get more confused.....

Well, the Avalon-MM bus is way much easier to work with, so I think it'd be better for You to check it out :) 

 

Or if You really really don't want to use Avalon-MM, then download Avalon-MM memory master read/write examples. Those signals in Avalon-MM are probably the same as exported from the core generated by megawizard.

Thanks again, but I really want someone can teach me how to use the high performance controller II directly.......

yes, I do look at the timing diagrams, but those diagrams are too "theoretical", I cannot produce the same diagrams in my quartus II.................

In addition, those timing diagrams are separate read or write operation, if you write and then read the same DDR2, the timing is a different story....

okay, I will run the example and try to learn something from it..... does it really help the understanding?

I also have a question about avalon-mm port of DDR2 HPC-II. 

 

What are settings for the following interface properties: 

1. burstOnBurstBoundariesOnly  

2. linewrapBursts 

 

I didn't find answers in Altera's External Memory Interface Handbook nor in the wiki mentioned in the post above.
