question about memory write and read command

[tw011]

Hi all,

I have a question and want to make sure the way to write / read data on EDK

I don't have an experience on EDK

So, My design is to write data from my IP(pattern generation) to dual port BRAM

one port is only for write

another port is only for read

Whenever sending all of my data into BRAM is done, read data from BRAM to MicroBlaze

Writing data has to be happened between my RTL design and BRAM

Reading data has to be happened between BRAM, bran controller, and microblaze

My question is

if base address of my RTL design is 0x76000000,

if data is 0x55555555, (if 0x55555555 is sent to my RTL design, my RTL will be send enable signals/ address to BRAM

Can I use

Xil_out32(0x76000000, 0x55555555)  to write data into BRAM??

if so, does the 0x76000000 & 0x55555555 values go into the port at address & data of the sub-module? if module has address and data port

Thank you in advance

Hi,

"Can I use

The Xil_Out32 is actually a procedure programmed that way :

void Xil_Out32(INTPTR Addr, u32 Value)
{
	u32 *LocalAddr = (u32 *)Addr;
	*LocalAddr = Value;
}

So using "Xil_Out32(0x76000000, 0x55555555);" will actually send a write transaction with the 0x55555555 value (mind to always give a 32b value) to the 0x76000000 address of your BRAM if this address is within the address range of your BRAM and your write port is an AXI Slave interface connected to the AXI Master interface of your Processing System (through the AXI Interconnect of your block design if there is one).

To be brief, yes you can.
