CAST PCI Express Cores
The CPXP-EP Endpoint Controller Core for PCI Express features an Application Interface module for easier integration with less knowlwdge of PCIe internal details.
The CPXP-EPx8 PCI Express Endpoint Controller Core with SoC Bridge Extensions for AMBA™ AXI Core implements a PCI Express endpoint controller that is compliant with PCI Express Base specification 1.1, including the Transaction, Data Link, and Physical protocol layers. It is available to act as a bridge to the standard AMBA™ AXI bus.
The PCIEXPAIF Application Interface Core for Altera and Xilinx FPGA PCIe Hard IP is designed to provide connection between the FPGA PCIe Hard IP block and SoC local bus. Supported SoC busses are Wishbone, AMBA™ AHB and AMBA™ AXI.
