John,
I am just trying to make some windows/linux application talk to the FPGAs over PCI in an ATX motherboard. Not wanting to spend too much time getting the PCI hardware to work, I would like to have standard PCI bridge on the PCI board. Hopefully that also comes with any software drivers/API, etc. that I can call in my application to talk to the Logic inside the FPGA.
So it is not something new... well software interfacing will be new to me. But thats where I would like to be as fast as possible. So I do not want to spend any time putting a PCI core into the FPGA and making sure the PCI timing is met.
What kind of FPGAs are on the TIMs that you have?
Thanks.
