multiple clock domain instruction

Hi, guys, 

 

I am now studying the document named "building systems with multiple clock domains" which is in Quartux II Handbook, Volume 4. 

 

in page 11-8, it says that I need to find something inside the file standard.bdf, however, I spend hours finding the standard.bdf file but couldn't find it in my computer. I am pretty sure I did correctly in the previous steps... 

 

Anybody knows where the file is? I am kinda rookie to the altera software for now.. 

 

thanks a lot

standard is the design name for which ever device you are targeting, and the bdf should be in that directory. did you check: 

 

<Nios II EDS install path>\examples\<verilog or vhdl>\<board  

version>\standard

thanks for the reply. Exactly, there is such a directory! I thought the bdf file might be there after I generated the updated system using SOPC builder; however, it is not there!! :confused: 

 

where else can i check? thank you

Hi, thanks for the link.. sorry that I didn't see the info abt bdf file there. Where could i find it or download it or need to generate or just draw it myself (quite impossible)?

i don't see any bdf files either. the manual must be out dated. 

 

you will have to create the bdf or work with the HDL file instead.

Hello, 

 

I am not sure if I understood your question, but for manage multiple clock domain you can use a double clock fifo. 

 

You can generate this fifo using the MEGAWIZARD PLUG IN MANAGER. 

 

tools>>megawizard plug in manager>>create...>>memory_compiler>>fifo 

 

Good luck.
