help: the DDR2 controller works incorrectly

I use the DDR2 SDRAM Controller v9.1(not the high performance) and my memory is MT47H32M16cc-3. The parameters are set as follows: 

clock speed 150MHz 

Data bus width 16bit local width 32bit 

Row 13bit Column 10bit Bank 3bit 

CL 5 

the DDR2 works correctly when I use the example driver which is generated by IP, but it works incorrectly sometimes when I replace the example driver by my own driver. My driver is very simple, just writes some data into ddr2, then reads back. But I compare the read back data with the write data, sometimes they are different. And I also find if I just write less then six data at once, there will be no errors. When I write more than six data, there will be errors sometimes. The attached files contain the SignalTap file and my own driver file. Does anyone can tell me where I am wrong? 

Thanks a lot.

Hi, 

 

What FPGA are you compiling for? 

In the v10.1 controller there is a TCL script you have to run to make the appropriate IO and timing settings, did you run something like this? 

Maybe it's related to the following issue:

You're zip file seems to be empty, if you post the files I can take a look at them.. 

 

Grtz, 

Olaf

thank you very much for your help. My FPGA is StratixII EP2S90F1020C3. I don't run any tcl for the project actually, I will try your suggestion. The attached file just contains one SignalTap file and one design file, not the whole project. I will change it. 

Thanks again.
