on chip memory does'nt work with 150 MHz on Cyclone V E development kit

hello dear Intel,

 

I am using Cyclone V E development kit. I set up a simple nios system(clock-pll-nios II processor- onchip memory-jtag uart) . This system runs with 50 MHz clock frequency. When i raise clock frequency to 150 MHz , system gives me an error (processor pausing and reset failed ). i can work with sdram at 150 MHz but . couldn't run with on chip memory. Does anybody know why this happens?

It would be necessary to set up timing constraints and perform a timing analysis to verify where the failure is occurring.

 

Also, which version of the Nios II are you using: e (no license needed) or f?

Hi, Steven

 

You may need to run timing analysis in Quartus, make sure there is no timing errors.

 

For example,

create_clock -period "150 MHz" -name {clk} {clk}

derive_pll_clocks

 

The timing report will tell you the max. frequency you can run, or you have to do place and route to improve timing.

 

Thanks.

Hi, Steven

 

Can we close this case ?

 

Thanks.
