    Subject: [oc] DDR memory controllers
    Top
    Hi all,
    i'm looking for a ddr memory controller for use in a spartan3 and am not
    sure
    about the possible options, pros and cons. i found the following on the
    opencores site:

    * ddr_sdr ( http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/ddr_sdr/overview )
    this one is ddr capable, but not marked as wishbone compatible. I'd like
    to get more
    input about it before choosing it, because i found quite a couple
    forum/list messages where
    people had problems with it. also, do any of you use it in a
    wishbone-type configuration?
    if so, did you design a wishbone bridge for it?

    * mem_ctrl ( http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/mem_ctrl/overview )
    this memory controller seems nice and wishbone-compliant, but i find no
    mention
    about DDR capability. it looks as if it could only use non-DDR sdram.
    (correct me
    if i'm wrong / if it does support DDR) ?

    as for non-opencores sources, there's the xilinx memory interface
    generator (mig007).
    which i haven't tried so far (and the generated result is also not
    wishbone compatible)
    what about that? do you use that in a wishbone-type configuration? if
    so, did you design
    a wishbone bridge for it?

    what other DDR controller solutions are there out there? (apart from
    reinventing the
    wheel and spend lots of time trying to design one myself, which i'd
    really like to avoid)
    what DDR controller do you use or recommend? what are the pros and cons?
