A simple turnkey solution
- Xillybus consists of an FPGA IP core and a driver for the computer: All the low-level design is already done. Read more...
- Supported out of the box by up-to-date Linux distributions.
- Drivers for Windows 7 and later available for download.
- FPGA designers interface with the IP core through a standard FIFO or dual-port memory
- Computer software programmers work in userspace with files, following classic UNIX programming style
- Works intuitively on both sides
- True streaming feel, no need to manage buffers. Any amount of data dropped on one side appears on the other.
- No specific API: All user design is based upon well-established methods
- No low-level design or driver programming
Features
- Very fast setup: A day or two is the typical lead time from downloading core & drivers to an end-to-end integration between host application and dedicated logic on FPGA.
- Try it first: Get your own custom built IP core for evaluation, and test it in your real design.
- Portability: Seamless transition between Xilinx and Intel FPGAs, Linux and Windows
- Robust pipe communication stream that just works.
- Scalable and flexible: Up to 160 FIFOs sharing a single PCIe link.
- Cuts development risk, cost and schedule dramatically
- Straightforward use for designers
- DMA used exclusively for data transfers, hence minimal load on processor.
- Low latency
- Intuitive data flow in both ends
- Custom generation of core to meet client's needs
Applications
- Data acquisition
- Video capture and playback
- Acceleration and HPC (High Performance Computing)
- FPGA control from host
- Easy design of peripherals
- Interface with dedicated hardware
- Logic verification on hardware
- Fast development of dedicated lab equipment
- Debugging
- Data interchange with High Level Synthesis (HLS) function
Host platforms
- Any host with PCIe and/or USB 3.x: Common PC computers, PC-on-board (PCI/104-Express) and embedded processors (e.g. NXP's i.MX series)
- Xilinx' Zynq-7000 EPP
- Intel Cyclone V SoC
