Eclypse Z7 board, Can I access DRAM from PL using MIG(Memory Interface Generator)?

[DGISTKSJ]

I am a beginner studying FPGA.
I am using an eclypse z7 board, and I have already practiced writing and reading data to DRAM using PS-DRAM.

This time, I would like to practice reading and writing using PL-DRAM (using MIG) instead of PS-DRAM.

Is it possible to access PL-DRAM (MIG) on the Eclypse z7 board?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hi DGISTKSJ,

No, the MIG cannot be used to interface with DDR on the Eclypse, as the DDR is connected to the Zynq PS. However, you ought to be able to access DDR memory through the Zynq PS's AXI slave ports, which can be enabled in the PS configuration, as below. It isn't trivial to implement a custom full AXI master interface to control these ports, so we would normally recommend using IP like Xilinx's AXI DMA.

Thanks,

Arthur
