hello,
my name is jos� l�pez, and i work as hardware engineer in Spain.
Firstly, I think you will need to know what kind of PCI do you want : Master PCI or Slave PCI or a brigde.
I suppose you will need to develope a Slave PCI if your DSP acts as a Master. If you are not experienced with FPGA programming you could download a free PCI core from www.opencore.org, (i think is a master pci). An other choice is to pay for a core from Altera but your board will be more expensive.
From my point of view, best choice is to design your own Slave PCI. Is a bit hard to start up this king of designs but I encourage you to try it. You will control the PCI as you want and you'll avoid unexpected problems from others. If you need help tell me it.
regards,
jos� l�pez

i've got to buld a DSP board with a cPCI interface to a cPCI Sparc
computer.
what's the best way to go about this? i'm no genius at FPGA
programming, i don't want to invent much here... can i just buy a core
from altera or xilinx and plop it in there and have that talk to the DSP?
of course i need fast data transfer, but not much else too sophisticated.
thanks much,
this is a fun project i just jumped on, but i need some help...
