Features

•     Excellent tool for getting PCIe Compliance for your core. This was the board used by Xilinx and Philips/NXP and independently by EurekaTech to pass PCIe Standards Compliance. See Xilinx Press Release.

•     Excellent tool to start Software and Driver development before your own board is completed.

•     Passed June 2005 PlugFest Compliance #45

•     This Card and Tentmaker Systems are on the PCI-SIG^® Integrators list

•     Xilinx PCIe^TM x1 LogiCORE IP (DO-DI-PCIE-PIPE)  Configurable Core licensable separately from Xilinx or Third Parties for customization.

•     Philips/NXP PX1011A-EL1 x1 PHY

•     Spartan 3 Based XC3S1000-FG676-5C (optional 1500/2000/4000)

•     Jungo Ltd, Software Example Driver link included. Note software is dependant on the core you purchase and the RTL you write, thus software drivers and software are not included.

•     Mictor connectors (66 pins total) allow easy addition of Logic Analyzers or Daughter Card

•    Optional Tentmaker Application for 4 video inputs to PCIexpress^®.

•    Four front panel RCA jacks provide 4 CVBS or SVIDEO inputs through 4 SAA7113H chips

•    Video input chips are controlled by I2C through a return path from the CPU through PCIe

•    1MB SRAM on board.

•    The PX WAVE is provided with an example Bitfile that allows the card to be recognized by the OS.

•   Schematics (PDF) and Gerbers provided with Design Kit.

Please note: The Xilinx Core and  Tentmaker RTL are NOT included but may be licensed for customization or users can write their own code using the UCF file provided. Similarly Software is not included since it will be specific to your particular application and your particular implementation. However as mentioned, a bitfile incorporating the Xilinx Core is provided that will allow the card to be recognized by the OS and allow you to re-verify that your card is still functional after your development. Other partner cores are also available directly from that partner e.g. EurekaTech.

 

 

  Tentmaker Systems can customize this board to your specifications then layout, fab & assemble boards for your prototyping within 5-8 weeks.
