Overview

Enclustra’s FPGA Manager USB 3.0 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 USB 3.0 interface.

The solution includes a host software library (DLL), firmware for the Cypress EZ-USB® FX3™ USB 3.0 device controller 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.

Highlights

• High throughput, plug & play USB 3.0 interface
• 300+MBytes/sec data transfer rate
• Runs on Windows
• Supports C, C++ and C#/.NET user applications
• Uses Cypress EZ-USB FX3 device controller

Benefits

• Complete and easy to use solution for communication between FPGA and host
• No need for dealing with complexity of underlying protocols
• Enclustra Mercury PE1 evaluation kits and reference design available

Features

• Streaming data transfer between FPGA and host
