66AK2H14: 66AK2H14

Part Number: 66AK2H14


Hello,

I chose to work with 66AK2H14 for image processing ,the part need SRIO IP for interfacing to FPGA . SRIO IP costs quite a bit about ~25K$ !!!

Did TI have any alternative?

Did TI have propriety for this kind of IP?

Thanks

    Hi,

    To my knowledge, at least with Xilinx PCIe IP Core comes with standard package. Mastering PCIe app on FPGA side still a challenge though.

    Hello,
    Thanks for your answer.
    From my understanding i need SRIO IP between 66AK to FPGA ,
    Did TI have any alternative not a very expensive?

    Thanks

    Hi!

    I guess, your understanding is correct: on 66AK side you already have SRIO IP provided by TI, but on peer FPGA side you'll need that's FPGA specific IP Core from its vendor. I haven't heard TI was offering IP cores for FPGA's, so I'm afraid your only route is toward FPGA vendor.

    Described was a primary reason why my group decided for PCIe. Further development proved, we did not really understand, what kind of difficulties we about to face. Getting it up in about a month, we spent another half year developing DMA engine, without which PIO transfers shown extremely low speed (45MBps on write, 2MBps on read, Gen1, x1). If we had a chance to try SRIO and find no such underwater rocks, perhaps I could convince my manager to buy SRIO IP Core.
