I would like to build a bare bones xio1100 PHY interface card for prototyping purposes, specifically for interfacing a A/D to the host cpu through the pcie bus. I have not found that much introductory info on this. Here are a few questions.
1. Do I have to have a FPGA MAC on the card or can I fake out the pcie bus and somehow hook the digitizer directly to the PHY?
2. What software, TI or public domain is available to talk to the PCIE card?
3. What other resources are available to help get started with this?
