14 years agoHi,
I'd recommend you start with this Altera PCIe reference design "PCI Express to DDR2 SDRAM Reference Design". Read the User Guide for this ref des and also the Altera PCIe Compiler User Guide to get started. You don't have to bother with the PCI/PCIe spec for now. See the link below for more details. http://sites.google.com/site/ednalabs/project/fpga/tips/pcie-design-with-altera --- Quote Start --- Ok - Ive been staring at the PCIe Userguide for a couple of days - and I dont really know where to start with this thing. We have a design that requires the following setup: PC (currently windows, later Linux) <-- PCIe x1 --> Arria2GX190 16k Shared ram <-- Control Interface --> Arm Chip Basically the Arria 2 just acts as a bridge between the Arm and the PC. Dont really know where to start with the PCIe core. Very little experience with PCI. Anyone know some design to get me going. Some nice demos of the core? --- Quote End ---
