IIE-PCI Board: Overview
Description
The IIE-PCI Development Platform board is a low cost PCI device card with a programmable logic chip (Altera ACEX), dynamic ram, and expansion capabilities. The main purpose of the IIE-PCI board is to test PCI designs in a educational environment. Cost was a primary concern. The fabrication cost for the prototype board was U$S 330, if 10 boards are made, the cost will drop to U$S 230 per unit. More information is available at the project website:
The IIE-PCI Development Platform is part of a final degree project in Electrical Engineering in the Universidad del la República - Facultad de Ingeniería - Uruguay.
The whole project contains the following parts:
- IEE-PCI board.
- Target PCI Core toolkit (written in VHDL).
- Linux device driver toolkit for the core and the device card.
