Will FPGA stop working after a huge number of clock pulse. (DE1-SoC)

Hi, I am not sure how to describe the problem to be written in the title. So I have a 150mb dataset in .txt, it looks like:

 

0.123 0.254 0.956 ...

got like 3 million rows.

 

I am using the FIFO in sending all data one by one to fpga to perform calculation, it send 20k from HPS to fpga, and on the fpga side it keep on calculating, and once 20k counter is reached, the fpga will output one result to HPS.

Below is the C:

while (j<35) { for (k = 0; k<N; k++) { fscanf(fp, "%f", &data); data = fabs(data); data = data * bin_scale; scaled_data[k] = (int)data; }   for (i=0; i<N; i++) { FIFO_WRITE_BLOCK(scaled_data[i]); } j++; usleep(1*1000); } while(!READ_FIFO_EMPTY) { retdata[m] = FIFO_READ; retdata[m] = retdata[m] / bin_scale; printf("data %d out %.10f\n",m, retdata[m]); m++; } fclose(fp);

and below is the verilog code:

always @(posedge CLOCK_50) begin if(initEnable == 0) begin sram_write <= 1'b0 ; hex3_hex0[3:0] <= 4'd1; hex3_hex0[7:4] <= 4'd10; hex3_hex0[11:8] <= 4'd1; hex3_hex0[15:12] <= 4'd10; hex3_hex0[19:16] <= 4'd1; hex3_hex0[23:20] <= 4'd10; data_buffer_valid <= 1'b0; HPS_to_FPGA_state <= 8'd0 ; FPGA_to_HPS_state <= 8'd0 ; Processing_state <= 8'd0 ; initEnable = 1; end /////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////// if ((HPS_to_FPGA_state == 4'd0) && (!(hps_to_fpga_out_csr_readdata[1]))) begin hps_to_fpga_read <= 1'b1 ; // read data flag HPS_to_FPGA_state <= 4'd1 ; end if (HPS_to_FPGA_state == 4'd1) begin hps_to_fpga_read <= 1'b0 ; // zero read data request before data appears HPS_to_FPGA_state <= 4'd2 ; end if ((HPS_to_FPGA_state == 4'd2) && (hps_to_fpga_read == 1'b0)) begin memo[i] <= hps_to_fpga_readdata ; //read the data to memo[0] Processing_state <= 4'd5 ; // enter data processing state HPS_to_FPGA_state <= 4'd3 ;   end //-----------delay before enter state 0------------// if (HPS_to_FPGA_state == 4'd3) begin HPS_to_FPGA_state <= 4'd4 ;   end if (HPS_to_FPGA_state == 4'd4) begin HPS_to_FPGA_state <= 4'd0 ; if (i == 125) begin i <= 0; end else begin i <= i+1; end end ////////////////////////////////////////// if (Processing_state == 8'd3) begin Processing_state <= 8'd0 ; //return a data packet end if ((Processing_state == 4'd5) && (FPGA_to_HPS_state == 0)) begin a <= a + memo[i] * memo[i]; Processing_state <= 4'd4 ; end if (Processing_state == 4) begin Processing_state <= 4'd3; //signal fpga the data is ready to be sent data_buffer_valid <= 1'b1 ; end   ////////////////////////////////////////// if ((FPGA_to_HPS_state==0) && (!(fpga_to_hps_in_csr_readdata[0])) && data_buffer_valid) begin if (|a == 0) begin k<=a; end else if(|a != 0) begin if (j == 20479) begin fpga_to_hps_in_writedata <= RMS; fpga_to_hps_in_write <= 1'b1 ; //write flag FPGA_to_HPS_state <= 4'd1 ; end else begin FPGA_to_HPS_state <= 4'd1 ; end end   end if (FPGA_to_HPS_state == 1) begin fpga_to_hps_in_write <= 1'b0 ; //data wrote, clear flag data_buffer_valid <= 1'b0 ; // data sent, clear flag FPGA_to_HPS_state <= 4'd2 ; end //-----------delay before enter state 0------------// if ((FPGA_to_HPS_state == 2) && (data_buffer_valid == 1'b0)) begin data_buffer_valid <= 1'b0 ; FPGA_to_HPS_state <= 4'd0 ; if (j >= 20479) begin j <= 0; a <= 0; end else begin j <= j+1; end end //////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////// end /////       div #(64, 15, 0, 0) Div (   .a(a), .b(j+1), .quotient(mean), .remainder(), .divide_by_0()   ); //   sqrt #(64, 0) Sqrt (   .a(mean), .root(RMS)   );

My problem is when the program send back to HPS, it could not send back the 32nd data back to HPS. In the seems like on HPS (C code) side it detect no data in FIFO. If I increase the loop to 50, it will send back 49 data instead of 50, but the data after 32nd data are all messed up. So will the fpga stop after working for certain number of clock pulse?

I am sure the C have no problem.

The verilog have no problem as well I think, because if the verilog have problem, the result would have appear on the first few data send back from fpga, instead it appears on the 32nd.

 

Also, after the program is ended, and I execute it again, then all the data messed up.

 

[EDIT]

After re-watching few videos, seems like I found the source problem:

Capture.PNGSeems like here is the problem, hope someone can enlighten me in solving this problem.

Hi,

 

Looking at this issue, it might be caused by the timing issue of your design.

 

Is the design your own or from a tutorial/ websites that you selected?

 

Which Quartus version are you currently working on? Could you share your timing reports in Quartus here?
