Need PCI Express 5.0 for your next FPGA design? Check out Intel® Agilex™ I-series and M-series FPGAs
Are you designing systems that need PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 capability? If so, you’ll want to take a good look at the Intel® Agilex™ I- and M-series FPGAs and SoC FPGAs because these programmable-logic devices incorporate PCIe 5.0 capabilities and have just passed PCI-SIG compliance tests.
FPGA writing to SSD
FPGA A (which is part of an existing system) transmits data using Serial Lite at 24 Gb/s. This data shall be received by FPGA B (to be designed) and written to an external storage device (SSD or multiple SSDs). The data volume is in the order of < 10 Terabytes. I thought of 2 possible approaches: 1. Connect the storage devices directly to FPGA B (using a custom board) and have the FPGA write directly to them. (I assume this will require implementing an NVMe controller in FPGA B). 2. Install FPGA B inside a PC like system where it will communicate via PCIe and do DMA transactions towards the storage devices. Which of the above approaches offers better performance ?
