(Xilinx Answer 22014) When using FIFO Generator Core, the allowed data count width is less than it should be (Xilinx Answer 22722) FIFO Generator Core now includes a User Guide in addition to a data sheet. Where can I find the User Guide for the FIFO Generator? (Xilinx Answer 24712) How do I test user logic that triggers ECC SBITERR and DBITERR outputs in FIFO Generator? (Xilinx Answer 30029) Setup/Hold time violations occur in the Unconstrained Path Report (Xilinx Answer 31144) Differences between FIFO v4.x (and newer) cores and v3.x (and prior) cores
New Features in v5.2
- ISE 11.2 support
- Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 device support
- (Xilinx Answer 32738) Enhanced the behavioral models to be cycle accurate for FULL, EMPTY, ALMOST_FULL, ALMOST_EMPTY, WRITE_DATA_COUNT, READ_DATA_COUNT, WR_ACK, VALID, UNDERFLOW and OVERFLOW
- (Xilinx Answer 32737) DOUT reset value support for block RAM based FIFO with embedded register
Bug Fixes in v5.2
(Xilinx Answer 31381) Empty flag does not assert in Common Clock (block RAM based) behavioral model simulation - Version fixed: v5.2 - CR 471467 and 473003
- FIFO generator user guide has incorrect description for Non-Symmetric Aspect Ratios - Version fixed: v5.2 - CR 518140
Known Issues in v5.2
- Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 solutions are pending hardware validation
- Software Support for the Virtex-6 Lower Power parts was added in this release, but FIFO Generator is not yet supported and cannot be generated from CORE Generator. In order to work around this issue, you can set your project to target an equivalent Virtex-6 LXT device which will allow you to generate a place holder IP that can be regenerated when support for the Virtex-6 Lower Power parts is added in 11.3.
