Serial ATA with Xilinx RocketIO (Virtex 2 Pro)??

Feb 20, 2004 2 Replies

Hi ...



Xilinx still claims in various documents that you could use RocketIOs for Serial ATA.



Half a year ago there was the same question - the problem seems to be with the "Out-of-Bound" (OOB) message creation and detection ...



has anyone found a solution yet?


bye, Michael



have you found an other way to use serial ata with an FPGA?

Silicon Image hat a 2port serial ata phy (Sil3012) but I have not seen a datasheet yet. It has a 150MHz DDR interface and about the same pin count as parallel ata :-(

bye, Michael

as much as I got informatiom from Xilinx then, well ML300 board has SATA connectors but they are unuseabel as SATA :( so, NO there is no OOB support and SATA with RocketIO in V2Pro.
