This module may be evaluated using the Slicekit Modular Development Platform, available from digikey. Required board SKUs are:

• XP-SKC-L2 (Slicekit L2 Core Board) plus XA-SK-SDRAM plus XA-SK-XTAG2 (Slicekit XTAG adaptor)

This application serves as a software regression to aid implementing new SDRAM interfaces and verifying current ones. The demo runs a series of regression tests of increasing difficulty, beginning from using a single core for the server and a single core for the sdram_server progressing to all cores being loaded to simulate an XCore under full load.

• Package: sc_sdram_burst
• Application: app_sdram_regress

This application benchmarks the performance of the module. It does no correctness testing but instead tests the throughput of the SDRAM server.

• Package: sc_sdram_burst
• Application: app_sdram_benchmark

This application demonstrates how the module is used to accesses memory on the SDRAM.

• Package: sc_sdram_burst
• Application: app_sdram_demo

This combination demo employs this module along with the module_lcd LCD driver and the module_framebuffer framebuffer framework component to implement a 480x272 display controller.

Required board SKUs for this demo are:

• XP-SKC-L2 (Slicekit L2 Core Board) plus XA-SK-SDRAM plus XA-SK-LCD480 plus XA-SK-XTAG2 (Slicekit XTAG adaptor)
• Package: sw_display_controller
• Application: app_graphics_demo
