I/O Connectors

PCI Express family systems are a set of typical basic systems targeted on GEB PCIe boards family (Cyclone IV GX
Fpga) which contains all files to make a PCIe subsystem quickly: Configuration files to load on FPGAs, SOPC files,
related drivers for multiple OS, simple Demo and test programs. All support files are available in source format.
Customer can use the basic system to develop his application hardware and software directly on GEB board, which can
be sold in volume at low cost, or
33 digital I/O
may retarget his application on his
3V3 LVTTL
hardware editing the source files.

Simple Base Peripheral System Features
The Simple Base Peripheral System includes all Customer needs to start
designing and practicing with PCI-Express, that is 7 PIOs totally settable as
inputs or outputs, to access the pins available on the I/O connectors.
Moreover, a simple Test Application is provided in conjunction with the
device drivers (available for different x86 platforms). The Test Application
allows the user to easily control I/O by means of an intuitive Graphical User
Interface (GUI). Furthermore, the provided source code allows you to
understand how to use the drivers in a custom application.

Driver Architecture
The driver allows direct access to all I/O registers inside Avalon Bus by
function calls. More library files are then provided to control base devices, in
order to develop custom applications without having to care about low-level
access and focusing on the application business logic. In the end, custom device drivers can be developed starting
from the library example source files, and then be integrated in the end-user application.

Customization Service
GEB is available to target PCIe hardware/software subsystem to your needs, integrating your hardware blocks,
analyzing and foreseeing the performance, developing the SOPC system and drivers on GEB or on Customer Boards.
During the design all know-how needed to maintain the system in the next years will be taught to the customers.
