The loosely-coupled reconfigurable computing model includes the host microprocessor in conjunction with an external stand-alone reconfigurable hardware which takes advantage of low cost in technology and development time. It can work as a fast emulation approach to study reconfigurable computing prototype system. One of the key features of such emulation system is the ability to perform the communication. In this paper, we proposed a high speed hardware channel with direct memory access(DMA) transaction method based on Xilinx ML555 development kit and PCI-express(peripheral component interconnection express) endpoint block IP. Experiments show that both read and write transaction speed in this design meet the theoretical maximum speed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
