Hi,
when the program is stored in on-chip BRAM, after configuration of the FPGA rand() returns always the same sequence. Calling srand() does not change this behavior. When the system is reset and not reprogrammed, srand() behaves as expected. Calling rand() once before srand() works for me. Side note: srand()/rand() requires about 256 Bytesof heap to work.
All tests using EDK 10.1 SP3, MicroBlaze 7.10.d
Broken:
int main()
{
srand(2);
for( int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
putnum(rand());print("\r\n");
}
return 0;
}
Output after programming:
00000000
5851f42d
40b18ccf
Output after system reset:
30a3e85a
29112571
56ba5fbd
Workaround:
int main()
{
rand();
srand(2);
for( int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
putnum(rand());print("\r\n");
}
return 0;
}
Output after programming:
30a3e85a

Best regards,
