Technical Support From Third Party Suppliers
Xilinx lists suppliers of development tools and technical support for PCI design as a service to our customers who need additional assistance. Xilinx is not responsible for the quality or reliability of the services or products these companies supply. Please contact them directly and let them know we referred you.

If you offer a product or service for the design of PCI cards or systems and would like to be considered for listing on this page, please let us know. We want to expand the listing of useful products for our customers.

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. For additional information, contact:

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:
