MPMC does not finish initialization in simulation

[shubhendu]

Hello Friends,

I am working on virtex6. I am trying to debug a problem by simulating i
modelsim. But in the simulation I get a different problem. My platform use
DDR3 SDRAM via xilinx's MPMC (6.02a).

During simulation, the MPMC gets busy initializing itself, but neve
finishes (at least not for until 2ms).

To fasten the initialization in the MHS file, I first set
PARAMETER C_SKIP_SIM_INIT_DELAY = 1

That didnt help. So to be sure I also then set

PARAMETER C_MEM_SIM_INIT_OPTION = SKIP_INIT
PARAMETER C_MEM_WRLVL = 0

I see WRITE level initialization finishes, but read level does not. Th
simulation continues forever ( I simulated for 2ms, which took around 1H
with my hardware platform)

What could be wrong? Have I missed something?

I am not memory expert, I just want the MPMC to work during simulation.


Thanks

I can't help with that.

However, back when I was doing simulations, they usually finished sometime during the night after I started them. However, I once saw a simulation (of a circuit board with mostly ASIC on it) that took three months to finish.

I'm not familiar with the MPMC, but I had issues with MIG simulations
not finishing "calibration." It seems that my problem had to do with
a minimum delay requirement on the data path. If you look at the
test bench provided with the MIG design, there are delays in the
data connections between MIG and the memory model. You may need to
duplicate these in your test bench if they're not already in there.
