The goal of the project is to realize a general platform for rapid development of network applications on the family of COMBO cards. The proposed platform includes network interface blocks (1G/10Gbps Ethernet), high-speed programmable busmaster connection to the software layer via PCI-X or PCI Express bus and a generic interface to user network application accelerated core. The generic data transfer protocol between NetCOPE platform and accelerated core allows an easy integration into the target application.

Features:

High performance scalable platform for network applications in FPGA

IEEE 802.3 compliant input and output network interface blocks

Generic data transfer protocol

High speed programmable bus master controller

Full PCI-X and PCI Express throughput

Set of IP cores with generic interfaces for simple data manipulation (see HW section for details)
