Communications for Real-Time Embedded Systems.

A family of components to connect workstations, embedded processors and FPGAs using industry-standard protocols.

Supported operating systems:
VxWorks
Linux
Windows NT/2000/XP

Supported FPGAs:
Xilinx Spartan,
Virtex, Virtex-II and Virtex-II Pro

Features:
Supported transports include:

    * UDP/IP over Gigabit Ethernet
    * InfiniBand
    * Universal Serial Bus (tbd)
    * PCI (tbd)
    * Common hardware components and software APIs for all supported transports
    * Allows creation of heterogeneous networks of CPU- and FPGA-based processing nodes for real-time applications

Data transfer via:
    * Block messaging
    * Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)
    * Continuous / segmented streams
    * Command register update

Benefits:

    * High bandwidth, low-latency interconnect
    * Easily provide scaleable solutions
    * Built on open standards allows network vendor independence
    * Move systems between supported transports as requirements change
    * Easily connect FPGAs into standard networking fabrics for embedded computing and supercomputing applications
    * Use the appropriate transfer type for the application
    * Mix transfer types within the same application.
