SATA on Stratix FPGAs

Hello Guys, I was wondering if you share your valuable experiences and ideas with us regarding SATA implementation. I have an old STRATIX dev board and I want to implement SATA protocol on that...

We successfully did a SATA implimentation using the DE4 board from Terasic and a SATA core from Inteliprop.

It worked well for our needs and Inteliprop was very responsive to our questions.

unless you are required to write your own SATA implimentation, a tested core is the way to go. It was pricey, but cheaper than it would cost to develope yourself.

I talked to a couple of other Core vendors at the time, and Inteliprop was quick in responding to our initial questions, and providing trial license to test it out.
