PCI-Express Development with FPGA

Unlock the power of PCIe development with FPGAs! This course dives deep into PCI-Express (PCIe) technology and its implementation using FPGA design tools. Learn a comprehensive development methodology, focusing on designing and simulating PCIe IP cores specifically for Xilinx FPGAs.

You'll gain hands-on experience with:

• Designing PCIe IP: Customize pre-built PCIe IP within the Xilinx Vivado design environment.
• Simulation: Effectively simulate your PCIe designs using Vivado.
• lspci & setpci: Master essential command-line tools for PCIe management.
• Bash Scripting: Automate PCIe tasks with powerful scripting techniques.
• PCIe Packet Analysis: Understand and analyze PCIe traffic for debugging and optimization.
• PCIe Driver Development Basics: Get an introduction to developing basic PCIe drivers on Linux.

Explore the extensive range of PCIe IP available within Xilinx Vivado and Intel Altera Quartus. We'll also examine design processes using third-party PCIe IP from leading vendors like Northwest Logic (NWL), PLDA, and others.

Discover the vast possibilities of PCIe design on FPGAs for demanding applications. Xilinx and Intel Altera offer a wide array of FPGAs with robust PCIe implementation capabilities, ideal for:

• Data Center Applications
