Re: storing convolution coeeff's Xilinx V2 8000 |

| Quote: | I would like to store several hundred convolution coefficients for a real
time computer vision core using Xilinx's V2 8000 series FPGA.
does anyone know the best way to do this? How many logic cells / block RAM
does storing many constant coeff's take? Is there anyway to estimate the
number of LC/BRAM needed to store, say X coeff's. Would it be better to
store the coeff's in some off chip memory (like SRAM)?

If you have enough RAM on chip, that's the obvious simple way
to do it. Should be easy to figure out how much you need.
Just compute how many bits you need and round up the width
to fit an integer number of chips. Round up more if your
size isn't a power of two and such.

kind of automated process (i suppose i could write a text parser in C to
import all the coefficients into the VHDL before synthesis, but maybe there
is a tool to do this kind of thing)? To have to type out several hundred
numbers every time I wished to change the filter is ridiculous...
