MEV work closely with Altera to provide consultancy services designing PCI-Express solutions using Altera GX FPGAs for a wide range of customers.
MEV can provide:
Typical solutions involve data flow from the outside world to a standard interface such as PCI-Express via memory cache, or vice versa.
With the Cyclone IV GX PCI-Express interface we could continuously read DDR2 RAM from an Altera EP4CGX150DF31C7 board to Linux Driver at:
| PCI-Express | x4 end point | x1 end point |
| MBytes/Second | 1300 | 813 |
A custom Write Master is able to deliver a peak rate of 256 bits of data to DDR2 memory every 75 MHz clock 2.4 GBytes/sec peak.
MEV provided PCI express data acquisition solutions to many different customers. One customer who is happy for us to share the story with you is Apogee Flow Systems.
We helped Apogee Flow Systems deliver a DMA capable PCIe data acquisition card based on Cyclone IV GX x1 end point. Their existing Apogee PCIe design was changed to be compatible with DMA transfers and we provided a DMA capable Windows WDM driver.
MEV work closely with Alitronika DVS who manufactures all things to do with digital video interfacing.
We helped develop a range of PCI based DVB adapters.
