Subject: [oc] Connecting single PCI device to FPGA
Hi everyone,I am very new to the PCI bus system but currently, my project requires me to access and control a single PCI32 device using the FPGA. The PCI device that I am trying to access is a PCI-32bit device working at 33MHz and the FPGA that I am using is a Spartan-3 FPGA. I would like to implement a simple hardware-based controller and would like to avoid implementing any cpu architecture on the FPGA. I believe finding a core is the easiest way to do this.
If my understanding about the PCI bus system is correct, I believe I would need a core that could make your FPGA to interface and control a PCI32 device. However, I have tried looking at several PCI32 controller cores on the web, but it seems to me that most of the cores are for turning your FPGA into PCI32 device BUT not to control another PCI32 device.
Please advise if my understanding is wrong. I would greatly appreciated any opinion from any of you on what is the easiest way to control a single PCI32 device using an FPGA.
