Adding an FPGA to a system is not always an easy task. Even interfacing to a host can be challenging but Opal Kelly has been helping designers for years starting with their USB-based XEM FPGA modules.

PCI Express has become a mainstream PC technology that has quickly supplanted parallel PCI and AGP in the PC platform, much as parallel PCI displaced ISA and VLB busses over a decade ago. And now, ...

Many end-applications today use an FPGA-based design as an inherent component of their solution. They often require PCI Express as an indispensible feature, to provide a standardized interface with ...

Pairing the PX1011A PCI Express PHY from Royal Philips Electronics with a Xilinx Spartan-3 XC3S1200E FPGA yields what is unveiled as the first low-cost, programmable PCI Express endpoint silicon ...

This paper describes a bus mastering implementation of the PCI Express protocol using a Xilinx FPGA. While the theoretical peak performance of PCI Express is quite high, attaining that performance is ...
