|
SpaceWire Light supports two application interfaces. One interface
|
|
provides FIFO-style access to RX/TX buffers in the core (spwstream).
|
|
This interface can be easily integrated into most digital designs.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, an AMBA bus interface (spwamba) may be used to integrate
|
|
SpaceWire Light into a LEON3 embedded system. This interface supports
|
|
DMA-based data transfers. The code for the AMBA interface deponds on GRLIB,
|
|
a VHDL library from Aeroflex Gaisler. The source of GRLIB must be downloaded
|
|
separately from http://www.gaisler.com/.

|
Future plans:
|
See doc/Manual.pdf for more information.
|
* redesign fast receiver to improve performance
|
|
* add support for Xilinx Virtex platform
