Has anyone tried any other SDRAM SODIMMS in the PCIeV4Base board?

Hello,

if you want to use your own SODIMMs on PCIeV4BASE, there are some things to consider:

The example FPGA design included in delivery will probably not work, because other SODIMMs may have different memory organizations, i. e. number of devices, memory size, module rank addresses ...
Delivered 512 MByte SODIMM is the only one tested and verified together with PCIeV4BASE.
You have to generate an appropriate memory controller with Xilinx memory interface generator on your own and then change and check pinout in *.ucf file!
CESYS GmbH does not guarantee correct functionality and does not repair/support damages and problems arising from use of other SODIMMs free of charge!

best regards
