Inefficient Memory Transactions For Quarter-rate Designs

Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

    Critical Issue

    Description

    This problem affects DDR3 products.

    The HPC II memory controller might be unable to perform seamless back-to-back sequential read or write transactions in quarter-rate designs.

    Resolution

    The workaround for this issue is to modify the alt_mem_ddrx_controller.v file as described below.

    Open the alt_mem_ddrx_controller.v file in an editor and locate the following lines:

    localparam CFG_MAX_PENDING_RD_CMD = 16; localparam CFG_MAX_PENDING_WR_CMD = 8;

    In the above lines, change 16 to 32 and change 8 to 16.

    This issue will be fixed in a future release.
