Hi Rae,

It is possible. In past, we had successfully transferred data from computer's main memory to Altera's FGPA onchip memory. But at that time we used PCI (not PCIe) with DMA.

Sorry I do not have much idea about PCIe. But if you will do some research, you should be able to find some design doing same as you are planning.

Cheers,
