hls_dma - a simple yet versatile HLS-implemented DMA engine

This repository contains sources of a simple DMA engine with the core part written in HLS. That enables easy customization for specific needs. The design is described in the paper "Versatile DMA Engine for High-Energy Physics Data Acquisition Implemented with High-Level Synthesis".

If you use it in your design, please cite https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics12040883 .

The Linux driver for the driver and the skeleton data-processing application is available in the separate gitlab repository.

Due to HLS limitations, the HLS part must be accompanied with certain blocks implemented in VHDL.

The test_env directory contains a testbench enabling testing in the simulation the HLS-generated RTL code. This part is significantly based on the code written by Dan Gisselquist and published in his WB2AXIP repository.
