[> Intro
|
|
---------
|
|
LitePCIe provides a small footprint and configurable PCIe gen1/2 core.
|
|
|
|
LitePCIe is part of MiSoC libraries whose aims are to lower entry level of
|
|
complex FPGA cores by providing simple, elegant and efficient implementations
|
|
ofcomponents used in today's SoC such as Ethernet, SATA, PCIe, SDRAM Controller...
|
|
|
|
The core uses simple and specific streaming buses and will provides in the future
|
|
adapters to use standardized AXI or Avalon-ST streaming buses.
|
|
|
|
Since Python is used to describe the HDL, the core is highly and easily
|
|
configurable.
|
|
|
|
LitePCIe uses technologies developed in partnership with M-Labs Ltd:
|
|
- Migen enables generating HDL with Python in an efficient way.
|
|
- MiSoC provides the basic blocks to build a powerful and small footprint SoC.
|
|
|
|
LitePCIe can be used as MiSoC library or can be integrated with your standard
|
|
design flow by generating the verilog rtl that you will use as a standard core.
|
|
|
|
[> Features
|
|
-----------
|
|
- 7-Series Artix7/Kintex7 PHY (up to PCIe Gen2 X2)
|
|
- Scatter-gather DMA
|
|
- Wishbone bridge
|
|
- Linux driver with DMA loopback demo and Sysfs
|
|
|
|
|
|
[> Possibles improvements
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
- add standardized interfaces (AXI, Avalon-ST)
|
|
- add support for PCIe Gen2 X4 and X8 on 7-Series
|
|
- clean up 7-Series wrappers
|
|
- add Altera/Lattice support
|
|
- ... See below Support and consulting :)

|
|
[> Getting started
|
|
------------------
|
|
1. Install Python3 and your vendor's software
|
|
|
|
2. Obtain Migen and install it:
|
|
git clone https://github.com/m-labs/migen
|
|
cd migen
|
|
python3 setup.py install
|
|
cd ..
|
|
|
|
3. Obtain MiSoC:
|
|
git clone https://github.com/m-labs/misoc --recursive
|
|
|
|
4. Build and load PCIe DMA loopback design (only for KC705 for now):
|
|
go to misoclib/com/litepcie/example_designs/
|
|
run ./make.py all load-bitstream
|
|
|
|
5. Build and load Linux Driver:
|
|
go to misoclib/com/litepcie/software/linux/kernel
|
|
make all
|
|
./init.sh
|
|
|
|
5. Build and load Linux utilities:
|
|
go to misoclib/com/litepcie/software/linux/user
|
|
make all
|
|
./litepcie_util dma_loopback_test
|
|
|
|
[> Simulations:
|
|
Simulations are available in misoclib/com/litepcie/test:
|
|
- wishbone_tb
|
|
- dma_tb
|
|
To run a simulation, move to misoclib/com/litepcie/test/ and run:
|
|
make simulation_name
|
|
|
|
[> Tests :
|
|
A DMA loopback example with Wishbone over Sysfs is provided.
|
|
Please go to Getting Started section to see how to run the tests.
|

[> License
|
|
-----------
|
|
LitePCIe is released under the very permissive two-clause BSD license. Under
|
|
the terms of this license, you are authorized to use LiteEth for closed-source
|
|
proprietary designs.
|
|
Even though we do not require you to do so, those things are awesome, so please
|
|
do them if possible:
|
|
- tell us that you are using LitePCIe
|
|
- cite LitePCIe in publications related to research it has helped
|
|
- send us feedback and suggestions for improvements
|
|
- send us bug reports when something goes wrong
|
|
- send us the modifications and improvements you have done to LitePCIe.
|
|
|
|
[> Support and consulting
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
We love open-source hardware and like sharing our designs with others.
|
|
|
|
LitePCIe is mainly developed and maintained by EnjoyDigital.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to know more about LitePCIe or if you are already a happy
|
|
user and would like to extend it for your needs, EnjoyDigital can provide standard
|
|
commercial support as well as consulting services.
|
|
|
|
So feel free to contact us, we'd love to work with you! (and eventually shorten
|
|
the list of the possible improvements :)
