Non-blocking communications

[jzw]

I have a pair of boards using the XU216-512-FB236 part. I have established an external xconnect link between the two and can exchange data reliably. I would like to be able to send a message (a single byte would do) from one board to the other with the sender not blocking. The data sent can be lost if not received and I would not need to know on the sender if it had been received or not.

Is there a way of doing this? I have experimented with server channels and using control tokens but the sender always blocks if the data is not taken. Since these are two individual and separate parts I cannot us any shared memory approach.

Hi. Can you review the attached document which offers a demo code example?

The SW for this demo is posted here:

Thanks for the response. I had based my communications on this application note but had forgotten the detail. If I check for credit before I try and send it works a lot better.

Have you looked at notifications? These are non-blocking on the server.
