Lance,
Setting have_space to a constant 1 effectively turns off flow control
from the host through the FX2 to the FPGA.
Thus, the host will blast away, and you'll be left with only what fit
in the single FIFO. About 2048 samples IIRC.

Thanks for the response. I'm ok with this setup seeing as I'm only sending about 1000 samples at the most. Because I'm using a RAM to trap the samples, they wouldn't be moving to the transmit chain immediately, so there wouldn't be more chances to send anything.
I tried implementing a similar instruction to the one that was already there:
assign have_space = (wrptr <= 4000);
I'm using a 4k ram module, and the wrptr is supposed to advance everytime a sample is successfully received and written into memory. This instruction doesn't work though, and it causes the host to stall as if samples aren't being transferred. I thought that perhaps because wrptr is a register, it was being initialised to some value higher than 4000, thus causing have_space to evaluate to zero. So, I tried:
assign have_space = wrptr ? (wrptr <= (4095-256)) : 1'b1;
if wrptr is zero or unknown, the _expression_ should be false and have_space would then be one. If wrptr was any non-zero and known value, then it should check if it is less than the ram size. This also doesn't work, as samples aren't being transferred to the FPGA. So for now, I'm stuck forcing have_space to 1 to get samples onto the FPGA.
