LogiCore(tm) PCI Interface Drop-In Module
Xilinx LogiCore(tm) PCI Interface is a compliant 32-bit initiator (pre-release) and target (fully released) interface optimized and verified for the XC4000E family. It is a pre-defined drop-in module that enables you to design highly integrated, high performance, PCI compliant systems with Xilinx FPGAs. Because the implementation is already defined, you can focus your time and resources on your unique back-end functions and save several man-months in your development cycle.

Fully
Compliant PCI Interface in an XC3164A FPGA (171kB)
A PCI Target interface implemented in a Xilinx XC3100A-2
FPGA device. VIEWlogic schematics and Verilog source code are available.
The Verilog source has been optimized for use with Exemplar Logic's CORE
logic synthesis software.
Implementing
FIFOs in XC4000E RAM (1226kB)
This Application Note demonstrates how to use the new RAM modes in the
XC4000E logic block. A PCI
Write FIFO is implemented in several different ways, using various combinations
of asynchronous and synchronous, level-sensitive and edge-triggered, single-port
and dual-port RAM.

Aptix Corporation
Aptix, a Xilinx Alliance partner, provides a programmable hardware
environment for emulating system designs. The Aptix PCI solution includes
a high-speed I/O Interface card for the AXB-MP3-S FPCB (with interleaved
grounds and lands for surface-mounted, impedance-matching RC's) and a PCI
Slot Adapter card. A Xilinx XC4000E FPGA can be mounted in the I/O FPGA
socket of the MP3 and configured for a PCI Target or Initiator. The Aptix
PCI interface and Xilinx PCI LogiCore Interface Drop-in Module satisfy
all PCI bus compliance requirements. The emulator has ample capacity to
emulate the end application. Diagnostic probing, stimulus response and
hardware/software co-design capabilities are all available on the emulator.

Digital Research Center
The PCI Pamette is a generic PCI card built around Xilinx FPGA technology
augmented with memory, a flexible clock generation system and external
I/Os. The board can be fully or partially reconfigured in system, providing
a truly generic hardware platform. Applications are almost limitless, ranging
from custom computing, through special purpose interfacing to PCI bus measurement
and exercising. The board can be used for rapid prototyping or as the basis
of low-volume custom products. For more information see:
