Hi,
We used M4K memory block in Cyclone II chip and these RAMs did not always work correctly. According to the errata sheet of Cyclone II FPGA Family, it may be caused by FPGA silicon revision A and has been fixed since revision B & later. In addition to checking the printed characters on the surface of the chip by the vendor, we used JTAG's IDCODE instruction to get "0000" in the version field. Does "0000" have anything to do with FPGA silicon revision? Best regards,Link Copied

According to the *.BSD files, the ID-code has this meaning:
attribute IDCODE_REGISTER of EP2C8T144 : entity is
"0000"& --4-bit Version
"0010000010110010"& --16-bit Part Number (hex 20B2)
"00001101110"& --11-bit Manufacturer's Identity
"1"; --Mandatory LSB
In my understanding, the version field should represent the silicon revision.

Hi FvM,
Do you know where to find the IDCODE_Register of EP4CE22F17? I searched it and only find one here: http://bsdl.info/view.htm?id=4053 But the part number is the same as EP3C25F256 and the manufacturer is Oak Technology instead of Altera. Can I trust this file? Thanks, Hua
