FPGA solutions for PCI Express
15 October 2008
Programmable Logic
Xilinx recently announced a host of solutions for the PCI Express protocol based on its Virtex-5 LXT FPGAs.
The solutions include software/driver development kits, reference designs, and IP from a growing list of companies that make up an ecosystem of independent design service and IP vendors.
The solutions offer proven compatible technology, providing users a jumpstart on PCI Express product development and accelerating time-to-market.
CG-CoreEl is offering a 1G PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet NIC reference design leveraging all available Virtex-5 FPGA embedded gigabit transceivers, Ethernet blocks and integrated Endpoint block for PCI Express. This reference design illustrates system level design fundamentals and integration, as well as the use of a TCP-IP offload engine (ToE) enabling faster packet processing.
Jungo’s WinDriver is a leading device driver development kit which enables extremely fast development time of PCI Express compatible device drivers by allowing designers to develop at the application level while maintaining kernel mode performance. Jungo is offering a special 60-day, fully featured WinDriver evaluation accompanied by full and free technical support.
Northwest Logic offers a high-performance DMA design for the Xilinx integrated Endpoint block for PCI Express. This solution is fully customisable, enabling customers to quickly develop high-performance PCI Express designs. Based on the Xilinx development kit for PCI Express, this solution integrates the Xilinx Endpoint block for PCI Express and Northwest Logic’s full-featured DMA Design back-end driver for PCI Express. The demo application provides a complete, pre-packaged PCI Express solution. Optionally, the solution may also include Northwest Logic’s high-performance DDR2/DDR SDRAM controller and multiport front-end.
