Designing a PCI/VME Bridge
Designing a PCI/VME Bridge
(OP)
Hi,
Anyone out there have any experience with VME bridges?? I would like to design a PCI to VME bridge using IP Cores in an FPGA device. Looking for the knowledgeable to chime in and give a noobie some tips and things to look out for.
Thanks,
swb1

That aside, have you looked at the different companies offerings? This is not something you want do from scratch, I don't believe. I would guess someone else has already done it. You want to leverage off that.

The VME bus is a pretty straightforward memory mapped device. If you can find an IP PCI core, you have most of the battle done. By limiting the number of different transactions to gear them towards I/O operations, you can carve a lot of the FPGA requirements down.
No, I don't have any designs I can pass along. This was all done as "work for hire" and I don't have the rights to them.
Sorry.
