Hey, I'm trying to instantiate an XADC on my X300, to expose the build-in temperature/voltage monitoring capabilities. However, I can't seem to get any valid output from the module. I've never used an XADC before, but the documentation says that on-chip voltage/temperature sensors should be available, provided the XADC Vcc/Vaux are connected. Has anyone out there successfully instantiated and used the XADC on the X3xx-devices? Thanks for any help anyone can give, Rob -- Robert A Palumbo palumr@gmail.com

Rob XADC is actually already used in the SDRAM controller….because it's uber fast DDR3 it's used to measure temperature and dynamically adjust signal timing.

Ah, thanks for the information. What's interesting is that I'm able to build and implement with an XADC module instantiated without Xilinx firing off any warnings to me. One would think that Xilinx would warn you about that :-) On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 12:05 PM, Ian Buckley <ianb@ionconcepts.com> wrote: > Rob > XADC is actually already used in the SDRAM controller….because it's uber > fast DDR3 it's used to measure temperature and dynamically adjust signal > timing. > Recursively search for mig_7series_v1_8_tempmon.v under > usrp3/top/X300/coregen > > -Ian > > > On Sep 26, 2014, at 8:39 AM, Robert Palumbo via USRP-users < > usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > > Hey, > > I'm trying to instantiate an XADC on my X300, to expose the build-in > temperature/voltage monitoring capabilities.

Hi Robert, You are building the HGS image and not the HG image, right? The "S" signifies an SRAM TX buffer and does not instantiate any of the DRAM IP. That is probably why you are not seeing any warnings. If you build X300_HG (or X310_HG) I'm sure the tools will complain. *Ashish Chaudhari* | Senior Software Engineer | High Frequency Measurements - RF Ettus Research, *A National Instruments Company* On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 9:32 AM, Robert Palumbo via USRP-users < usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > Ah, thanks for the information. > > What's interesting is that I'm able to build and implement with an XADC > module instantiated without Xilinx firing off any warnings to me.
