BDS XPCI PCI IP core for Spartan-3 chip

[alchemist59]

hi

can anyone advise a low-cost pci board with xilinx spartan-3 chip? is there driver for windows 9x or xp or it shoud be written by own hand?

thanks

Hi alchemist59,

Assuming that this is a personal project, using BDS XPCI PCI IP core might help you at least with the PCI interface part of the design.
BDS XPCI PCI IP core is a Xilinx (TM) LogiCORE (TM) PCI compatible (replacement) PCI IP core.
32-bit version BDS XPCI32 PCI IP core is available for as little as $100 for non-commercial, non-profit, personal use, and the same 64-bit version BDS XPCI64 PCI IP core (Includes BDS XPCI32 PCI IP core) goes for $200.
Since the pricing starts at only $100, it is ideal for HDL learners, FPGA beginners, FPGA hobbyists, computer hardware enthusiasts, or student graduation projects.
BDS XPCI PCI IP core comes with a PCI testbench for Verilog HDL which allows the user to simulate the design extensively on several HDL simulators before firing up the FPGA.
BDS XPCI PCI IP core fully supports free Xilinx ISE WebPACK design software (http://www.xilinx.com/ise/logic_design_prod/webpack.htm).
For an HDL simulator, ModelSim including ModelSim XE is supported by BDS XPCI PCI IP core, and the next release of BDS XPCI PCI IP core will support a $50 Verilog HDL simulator called Veritak by Sugawara Systems (http://www.sugawara-systems.com) as a low cost alternative to ModelSim XE.
VHDL support is currently poor, but VHDL porting of reference designs and PCI testbench should be available in December.
BDS XPCI PCI IP core officially supports the following PCI boards.

- Insight Electronics Spartan-II 150 PCI (Already discontinued)

- Insight Electronics Spartan-II 200 PCI Development Kit

BDS XPCI PCI IP core "unofficially" supports the following PCI boards.

- Avnet Xilinx Spartan-3 Evaluation Kit

- Enterpoint Raggedstone1 Spartan-3 FPGA Development Board
**broken link removed**

- Enterpoint MINI-CAN Development Board
**broken link removed**

- Enterpoint Broaddown2 Development Board
**broken link removed**


BDS XPCI PCI IP core currently supports Spartan-II and Virtex-E, and will support Spartan-IIE and Spartan-3 (ISE 7.1i is not supported for Spartan-3. Must use ISE 6.xi for Spartan-3 instead.) in the next release.
So with BDS XPCI PCI IP core, almost anyone can make their own PCI device for about $475 to $575. ($300 to $400 for the board + $25 for a JTAG cable + $100 for BDS XPCI32 PCI IP core + $0 for ISE WebPACK + $50 for Veritak.)
For commercial users who want to modify a Xilinx LogiCORE PCI or want to convert a design that uses Xilinx LogiCORE PCI to an ASIC (FPGA to ASIC conversion), BDS XPCI PCI IP core is also available in Verilog HDL RTL.
