Moore’s Law is over, ushering in a golden age for computer architecture, says RISC pioneer David Patterson—University of California professor, Google engineer, and RISC pioneer—says there’s no better time than now to be a computer architect. Some highlights "As an example on the...
The problem: In Vivado in the IP Packager when I was trying to make a custom component with mating interfaces to control PCIe4 IP Core, I couldn't do it because in the IP Packager PCIe4 control interfaces were missing, e.g.: VLNV xilinx.com:display_pcie4: pcie4_cfg_mgmt_rtl:1.0 VLNV...
The problem: In Vivado in the IP Packager, when we want to set a value for any interface parameter, we won't get any TCL commands in the Tcl Console. This is probably a bug. The following images visualize the problem: The solution: I managed to find these missing TCL commands :)...
