Hi,

we are designing a hardware accelerator for a pattern matching task and
need a FPGA board with high throughput. At this prototyping stage we do
not want to buy a PCI core license for $thousands. I looked at CESUS
board with an on-board PCI controller but people say it is too slow
(2MB/s or so through PCI bus).

Could you please recommend some faster board with non-zero amount of
memory (Insight electronics has no memory on-board)?

Thanks,

You can use the Open Core PCI core for a start.

Hello, as i know the memec insight development board (spartan II 200 PCI) has 2Mx32 sd-ram. the datasheet is available under the following link: www.memec.co.jp/html/xilinx/eboard/docs/dskit2s200euro/ 2s200_pci_user_guide_1_0.pdf greetings, haiko -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: pci-bounces@opencores.org [mailto:pci-bounces@opencores.org]Im Auftrag von Valery Miftakhov Gesendet: Freitag, 23.
