Hello XAUI,

There are a number of resources with examples available from Microsoft but this is material for people with experience. PCI, as you propose it, will not be easy.

What you could decide is stream the file over by GB Ethernet to a Nios II configuration, then process with the FPGA part it and send it back to the CPU and then over GB Ethernet to the PC.

If you use DMA for the link between the FPGA and de TSE I think this could be a really fast solution because the CPU only needs to manage the buffers and not transfer the data.

This solution could run on a DE2-115 or the like.

Best Regards,

Johi
