Dear sir

About removing the save module, I have very less logic area available
and I have found removing the slave module frees more space the just
grounding, so I would like to remove the slave module and other
modules if they can be and if they will not have any adverse effect on
the core. Please let me know if it is possible to reduce the logis
used in any other way.

As someone from the forum said to implement fpga specific ram model, I
tried to do it. But I found out that MAX II (CPLD im using) dose not
have any kind of RAM blocks. So the ram has to be implemented in the
logic area itself.
And a Generic two-port synchronous RAM model is provided in both the
files i.e. pci_pci_tpram.v, pci_wb_tpram.v.

The code of generic ram is as bellow:

`ifdef PCI_WB_RAM_SELECTED // if this is defined it dose not implement
the generic ram
`else
//
// Generic two-port synchronous RAM model
//

//
// Generic RAM's registers and wires
//
reg [dw-1:0] mem [(1 reg [dw-1:0] do_reg_b; // RAM data output register

//
// Data output drivers
//
assign do_a = {dw{1'b0}} ;
assign do_b = do_reg_b ;

//
// RAM read and write
//
always @(posedge clk_a)
if (ce_a && we_a)
mem[addr_a]
//
// RAM read and write
//
always @(posedge clk_b)
if (ce_b)
do_reg_b `endif

So if PCI_WB_RAM_SELECTED is not defined the generic ram is used, and
in my case I think because MAX II dose not have any ram blocks I donÂ’t
need to implement any specific ram, and let the compiler use the
generic ram.

This is what I have learned after following some instructions on
theforoum, please let me know if im wrong anywhere.

Please note MAX II dose not have any kind of RAM block

Im using Quartus II Ver. 5 for this project with MAX II family of CLPD.

Thankyou in advance.

Hi! You are right about the RAMs. Make sure you define PCI_RAM_DONT_SHARE and WB_RAM_DONT_SHARE also. About removing the WB Slave Unit: You can remove it completely, but you have to be carefull how you wire its outputs. If you hardwire the wrong value, the code will be broken. I suggest that you run a simulation only to apply reset to the core. The values on the WB slave unit's outputs during reset are the ones you should put on the wires after the unit is removed.

Hi Miha Dolenc That really helped me building up my confidance.
