Direct Memory Access (DMA) for PCI Express on Xilinx Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 FPGAs
Overview:
PCI Express® has increased the chip-to-chip bandwidth possible for PCI based systems. With PCI Express v2.0, also commonly referred to as Gen2, becoming mainstream this year these bandwidth intensive applications can be tackled with Xilinx Virtex-6 Integrated Blocks for PCI Express. Xilinx second generation of integrated blocks builds on the experience from Virtex-5 to deliver the most robust and extremely high-performance PCI Express interface.

Regardless of system bandwidth requirements however, to take advantage of PCI Express links and make them efficient, a Direct Memory Access engine (DMA) is required to move data to and from the FPGA to a processor or another PCI Express device. Working with ecosystem Alliance Partners including Northwest Logic, Xilinx offers the key components to take advantage of the integrated block for PCI Express.

Webcast Attendees Will Learn:
  • The latest advances in PCI Express technology in Virtex-6 and Spartan-6
  • How a Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine can improve system performance
  • How to address complex system requirements with sophisticated tools, IP and the programmable flexibility of Targeted Design Platforms


  • Who Should Attend:
  • HW/FPGA designers
  • System Architects
  • Systems designers
  • Embedded systems designers
