FPGA DMA name limitations

[Intaris]

Just a quick question...

Are there limitationsa s to what we can call a Target to Host FIFO on an FPGA target?

I was testing code and when I had a ":" in the name it wouldn't work.  Now I've removed the ":" (nice long compilation of course) and now it seems to work......

Are there name limitations for DMA FIFOs?

Intaris,

I'm sure there are limitations.    I've never seen a list.  I would think that most of the limitiations are directly related to the Xilinx compilers and VHDL.   I know that ':' is a character is used as part of the VHDL syntax.

Really, ":" is part of the VHDL syntax.

That would explain a lot.

Still lost two days over it though.  One thing's for sure.  I'll never forget that piece of information again.

Hi Shane,

Was this in 2012? I'll file a bug report if so...
