some new PCIe products
in [FPGA]

From: Antti Lukats on 7 Dec 2005 13:57 most PCIe PHY datasheets are still under NDA, but Marco Groeneveld has already made freely available the schematic of the SENDERO board that includes the PX1011A chip with its connection - downloadable from http://www.fpga.nl/ and PLX tech just announced PCIe to generic local bus bridge PEX8311, it looks like having 4 GPIOs so those could be used to bootstrap FPGA ?

I was reading the Sendero stuff and they only say "PCIe physical interface" tested so I assumed it was actually not tested in full. Real cool nice board ! it really seems that Xilinx is behind with PCIe, Stratix-GX passed plugfest looong time ago. And the promised Spartan3E+PhilipsPHY solution well havent seen much pictures of such boards yet. (except the northwest board that can use different phys). There was some notice on Xilinx web that they have it working also (with PX1011) but where are the boards for Spartan3+PX1011 evaluation? I had the impression Avnet was targetting to have them ready by July (this YEAR!) - but nothing there. Ah ok it was possible delayed as the board was supposed to be S3e based. And I guess the Philips PHY delayed also it still says only samples available and DS under NDA. So for those who want lowcost PCIe today its Cyclone-II + PX1011A Go! (or Lattice, they also just advertized low cost PCIe stuff) Antti
