Cyclone V PCIe hard IP? Megafunction required??

Bob,

Hi, I passed this information onto my co-worker and he gave me a few more details of his design. I said that he purchased a Third party PCIe Megafunction that implemented only the DMA Engine and use Altera's free PCI megafunction. He said if the Hard IP can implement something similar that you give the function a go and it will run independently reading the source memory and transmitting it over the PCIe link then that is great. I printed out the V-Series Avalon-MM DMA Interface for PCIe Solutions and will look if the Hard IP can implement a DMA engine. Do you have any comments or suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe
