I want to use FSMC of STM32F429 to read external FIFO implemented in an FPGA MAX10. Since no mode of FSMC can fit the FIFO interface precisely, I try to use the modified synchronous multiplexed PSRAM mode.
My plan is like this
A[25:16]: Ignored, don't connect to FIFO;
NEx, NOE, NADV: Implement a simple logic in FPGA that when NEx is valid and the NADV is data valid, connect the inverted NOE to the RD port of FIFO;
NWE: ignored, only read operation is needed;
D[15:0]: Connect to the output data port of FIFO;
There may be also some logic in FPGA to adjust the timing between NOE and D[15:0], but that is not a big problem.
My questions are:
- Is this plan feasible? Is there any problem with this plan?
- How can I extend the reading burst as long as possible? Since there are 2048x16bit in one frame, ideally, I want to read them all in one burst if possible.
Updated:
I've implemented the design which read FPGA FIFO through the FSMC interface in sync PSRAM Non-multiplexed mode successfully. Currently, each burst can only transmit 2x16bit data but it's already fast enough for my project.
