ZestET1 Gigabit Ethernet FPGA Board,低成本高性能FPGA板
ZestET1 是一款低成本, 简单易用, 性能非常高的千兆以太网 TCP/IP 卸载引擎(TOE) FPGA模块,它提供通用的接口,能够以千兆速度快速将设备连接到以太网。它能够在每个方向上维持 100MBytes/s 的采样率。
Orange Tree's proprietary GigExpedite chip "GigEx" is a TOE that handles all the Ethernet communicati*** protocols. This le***es the Spartan-3A FPGA completely free for the user's application, and means the user doesn't h***e to know anything about Ethernet protocols. With the main processing engine implemented in TOE ha***are, sustained data rates over 100MBytes/sec are achieved. You can read more about GigEx here.
With its low price point, ease of use and compact form factor (50mm x 75mm), the module is ideally suited to integration in embedded systems and OEM equipment. It features a user programmable Xilinx Spartan-3A FPGA with up to 1.4M system gates that are completely free for user programming.
The FPGA can be programmed from on-board Flash, Ethernet or JTAG, and is capable of running soft-core processors and higher level protocols such as GigE Vision and Industrial Ethernet. It can also be used as a programmable interface to external devices, for processing data on the fly, high speed processing of streaming data and controlling external devices.
