Hi
I am doing a project with a fifo in VHDL. Specifically I am trying to
send 1024 bytes of data at a time through the fifo (and over ethernet).
My input data width is 32 bits and my output data width is 8 bits. When
hardwaring my write enable signal to a constant high and controlling
when the fifo reads out data (when it has 1024 bytes of data), it seems
to work fine. However, I am trying to use a square wave for the write
enable signal and when I do this, the fifo outputs data for a short
period of time and then stops. When trying to debug this problem I
looked at the prog_full flag, write enable flag, empty flag, write
acknowledge flag, and the write data count.
The result is that it seems the write data count stays at a constant
value of 14 ("00000001110"). the write acknowledge signal is low which
indicates the write command was unsuccessful. However the write enable
signal is a square wave as expected. Does anyone know whats going on?
Thanks in Advance. Andy

What architecture/toolchain?
Is this behaviour in simulation or in real hardware?
Wheres the fifo from? Self written or a fifo core?

It is a Xilinx board with a Virtex 5 FPGA This behavior is in real hardware the fifo is a fifo core (known as Fifo Generator by a company known as LogiCORE)
