This is for those who don't want to use USB power to the board, but take advantage of the 2.1mm barrel connector jack input.

Cheers, Mike.

That way you can have a full 1G mapping into epiphany address space - but it is not continuous as each row only has 64MByte including some space for on-chip columns.
However that way it seems impossible to reach any other (non epiphany) memory location connected east or west on another chip.

Not sure if it matters that much as writing back from epiphany has to be smarter than just issuing a bulk request into SDRAM space.
I considered running cores in ping pong buffer configuration.
ARM DMA writes a block into any free core.
A finished core DMA writes result block into SDRAM.
However if more than one core is writing a block, data gets interleaved and may trash SDRAM page opening reducing memory bandwidth.
Even if this won't happen both writes will finish latter, while one block could have been finished in half time and only the second needs to be waited full time.
Bulk writing from a core into SDRAM should be done scheduled by one instance.
This way there is no additional page trashing - beside concurrency with ARM side activity and bandwidth isn't shared.

Yes, we did implement Sundance's suggestion of using one of the mounting holes for power but we hedged our bet (based on the controversy around the suggestion) and left the hole floating by default. To enable this feature, the user would need to short out two fairly large pads. The Parallella board spec will be published this week!

In terms of the shared memory space in the multi Parallella configuration, Epiphany cores will essentially become masters on all the AXI buses on all the Zynq chips. However, due to the east/west/north/south routing restrictions of thh Epiphany, getting to every corner of the memory map becomes tricky. We are still looking into whether all the cores will be able to directly access the DRAM on all boards or whether we will need some "proxy" Epiphany core on each Parallella board that will allow routing to be done north/south between the different boards and then east/west between the Epiphany and the DRAM on that board. I will put together a figure...

Thanks,
Andreas

I'm also a bit puzzled by your reply about the RAM usage. When the boards are connected together can they only use the external RAM on one of the boards? I still haven't worked out how each chip knows which elink to use to reach the outside world.

Thanks,
Tim
