Overview
Enclustra’s FPGA Manager PCIe solution is optimized for Intel (Altera) and AMD FPGAs and allows for easy and efficient data transfer between a host and a FPGA over a PCI Express interface.
The solution includes a host software library (DLL/SO), a PCI Express driver, and a suitable IP core for the FPGA. The user host application can communicate with the FPGA through a simple API consisting of simple read/write data commands hiding the complexity of the underlying protocols. Streaming and memory-mapped accesses are supported.
