Projeto de um núcleo de conversão da interface PCI para interface OCP-IP™.

Abstract

In this work we describes all the necessary stages to the development of design a Core of Intellectual Property (IP SoftCore) and how to elaborate your functional validation, also we describe all the necessary platforms for the elaboration of each stage of the project. That design Core has for function perform the conversion play of the interface of PCI local bus, of width of 32 bits and frequency 33 MHz, for a the interface whose the bus does use of the protocol OCP-IP™ of same width and frequency of the interface of PCI bus. For development of the Interface was necessary to elaborate a PCI Target unit and an unit OCP™ Master. The design of IP SoftCore was totally accomplished in the Hardware Description Language SystemC™, as well as the test environment for simulation and the device application of the user. The implementation of the Core was especially developed to adapt itself for device reconfiguration as FPGA FLEX 10KE of the company Altera that it was used in prototype stage. The results obtained in simulation environment were satisfactory, at the end of the project had itself answers for setup and cycles reading and writing cycles of reading and writing in the memory. The implementation stage was incomplete, only the setup environment was implemented in FPGA (reading and writing cycles in the setup configuration space).
