PCI 64/66 fpga eval boards

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.

Where?  I certainly don't see it anywhere.

You do not indicate whether this is for a commercial project or not.
Why not take a look at drccomputer.com. This company makes an fpga
that plugs into an AMD socket and communicates with memory via hyperchannel.
They have Linux work stations with hardware & software all ready
to go. It should be much faster than anything on PCI bus.
