Hi,
I am using a Digilent Nexys 2 board with a Spartan 3E, stepping 1 and speed grade -4 . The board comes with 50MHz oscillator and I bought a 100MHz external oscillator for the board. The datasheet states max DLL frequency of 240MHz for stepping 1 and 90MHz for stepping 0. I am using EDK 11.1
I changed the pin and values in the UCF file and the reference value in the clock generator. However, it does not give me the option to change the Microblaze frequency. The only option is 50MHz.
So I configured the MHS file and made 2 outputs from the clock generator 50MHz and 100MHz. But whenever, I change all the MB and bus (including mb_plb) frequencies to 100MHz, I get the following error
PLB bus frequency <100.000000> MHz is out of range. The frequency should be in the range of <25.000000> and <90.000000> MHz.ERROR:EDK -
I also tried creating a new project with and without the board support package from digilent. In both cases, when using the custom board specifications, I am unable to select a MB frequency greater than 88MHz (I set reference freq = 100MHz) and the "Use stepping" pull down list is empty.
Is this a problem with the EDK where it does not let me select the stepping option for this particular device? Since stepping 1 is for devices manufactured after 2006, hasnt the EDK been updated accordingly?
Kind Regards,
Karthik
