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 a potential co-processor for accelerating network application. The generic data transfer protocol between the network and co-processor interfaces allows for 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

Wire speed processing (4x1Gb Ethernet)

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)

Todo:

Testing in hardware, project is still in the simulation phase
