► IP Cores :

The PCI Express IP Core solution is a complete, high-performance, customizable design which enables users to accelerate designs containing PCI Express and SDRAM into production. The PCI Express IP Core solution fully integrates PCI Express Controller, DMA Engines, and SDRAM Controller and provides a high-performance starting design to which users add their custom ports to complete their application.

Key Features:

► PCI Express Core
    o PCI Express Core (Gen 1 / Gen 2)  x1, x4, x8 or Xilinx Virtex 5 PCI  Express x1, 
       x4, x8 (hard core)
    o High-performance, low-level PCI Express interface
► DMA Back-End Core
    o High-performance multi-engine DMA
    o High-performance Target and simplified Register accesses
    o 64-bit address support, highly-customizable
► Memory Controller Core
    o High-performance DDR3/DDR2/DDR SDRAM Memory Controller
    o Highest possible bus utilization; cascading, bank management,  queued 
        interface
    o >333 (667Mb/s/pin) in FPGA; >=400 MHz (800Mb/s/pin) ASIC
 

► Multi-Port Front-End Core
    o High-performance Memory Controller arbiter with request prioritization
        and extended burst size
    o Built-in Memory Self Test
    o Enables user ports to be easily integrated into the solution
► PCI Express Verification Suite
    o Full-featured PCI Express Bus Functional  Model and simulation
       environment
    o Self checking, native Verilog, easy-to-use
    o Enables simple, powerful system simulations
    o Provided with example scripts to test DMA, Target, and Register accesses
► DMA Driver
    o High-throughput DMA and Target access for XP, Vista, and Linux
► PCI Express GUI
    o PCI Express throughput characterization and demonstration (Windows)
    o DMA and Target command line example application (Windows/Linux)

► Drivers:


WinDriver™ product line supports any PCI device and enables designers to focus on their driver's added-value functionality  instead of on the operating system internals. With WinDriver designers can access their hardware from the application level in Windows  NT, NT Embedded, 2000, XP, XP Embedded, Server 2003, Vista, Windows CE 4.x-6.0, Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0, Linux, Solaris and VxWorks, and automatically generate a skeletal driver code.
