Looking for documentation about eFPGA macrocells (EOS-S3)

[Martoni]

Hello,

When I launch synthesis with QORC commands I get log files that give occupancy statistics in file «/opt/qorc-sdk/qf_apps/qf_helloworldhw/fpga/rtl/build/helloworldfpga_synth.log» (for helloworld app) :

Code: Select all

13. Printing statistics.

Where can I found documentation about this cells ?

Thanks

I can't find eFPGA mapping of macrocells in this datasheet or this.

The reference manual has a section of the FPGA. If you want to understand how to interface the FPGA I would suggest the following additional resources

https://github.com/coolbreeze413/qorc-onion-apps

This has a range of basic examples of how to interface the EOS device with your FPGA design.

A video tutorial is also available at https://www.quicklogic.com/products/soc ... ontroller/
Then select the SymbiFlow with QuickFeather – A simple FPGA Programming Example video

Additional documentation is also available at https://quicklogic-quicklogic-fpga-tool ... ecoun.html

I will update with the naming of the Logic cell fragmentation.

[Robert]

The FPGA Logic Cell in EOS S3 can be fragmented into four pieces

The frag F is also referred to as b.
