Hi, I'm using the CMod A7. It's main clock appears to be 12MHz, so I doubt it would be able to do it. I'm only new to FPGA myself, but I would suggest you take a look at the main clock rates they're running. I imagine you're going to need main clock at a 1GHz or more to be able to do something like what you describe. bye for now KB

Hi All, My name is Kerryn, I'm more of a c-programmer, but understand that FPGA is what I need for anything like an encoder input and other high speed hardware bits you want to offload from the main CPU, so I'm interested in it for things like that. I'm starting my FPGA learning experience with the Cmod A7-35 with bare VHDL. So far so good, once you can flash an LED there's not too much holding you back from there, I seem to be OK on the VHDL side of things so far. I guess once I get my confidence up with that I'll try adding Microblaze and get VHDL & Mircorblaze to share some registers or virual I/O. At the moment I'm getting stuck on storing my program to the startup flash, and a few other bits and bobs owing to using the latest tool chain rather than the documented tool chain so I'll probably post some questions about that. I'm hoping the FPGA experience isn't like what I see with the PLC guys where they have an entire virtual machine for every version of compiler tool-chain dating back years. bye for now KB
