HOW TO CREATE A CPU IN AN FPGA

What is EPCS16SI8N?

The EPCS16SI8N is an 8-pin SOIC device with a 16-bit serial configuration. After powering up, this EPCS flash memory device can store configuration data for FPGA configuration. It is compatible with any FPGA that supports the ASx1 configuration scheme. Through the Nios processor and SOPC builder, we can access unused memory addresses on the EPCS device to save or retrieve data. Using the JTAG interface, the FPGA may program the EPCS device in-system.

Pin NamePin Number in   8-Pin SOIC PackagePin TypeDescription
DATA2OutputThe DATA output signal transfers data serially out of the EPCS device to the FPGA during the read operation or configuration. During the read operation or configuration,   the EPCS device is enabled by pulling the nCS signal low. The DATA signal transitions on the falling edge of the DCLK signal.
ASDI5InputThe ASDI signal is used to transfer data serially into the EPCS device. These pins are also receiving data that are programmed into the EPCS device. Data is latched on the rising edge of the DCLK signal.
nCS1InputThe nCS signal toggles at the beginning and the end of a valid instruction. When this signal goes high, the device is deselected and the DATA pin is tri-stated. When this signal goes low, the device is enabled and in an active mode. After power-up,   the EPCS device requires a falling edge on the nCS signal before the EPCS   device begins any operation.
DCLK6InputThe FPGA provides the   DCLK signal. This signal provides the timing for the serial interface. The data presented on the ASDI pin is latched to the EPCS device on the rising edge of the DCLK signal. The data on the DATA pin changes after the falling edge of the DCLK signal and is latched into the FPGA on the next falling edge of the DCLK signal.
