Most PCI chips and cores only implement the minimum PCI bus interface signaling. This leaves the burden of connectivity, performance, and system compatibility on the designer. This reference design illustrates how the Altera pci_t32 MegaCore ® function can be enhanced to provide a set of advanced features to provide the best possible performance and flexibility to simplify the design. The design implements a 32-bit 33-MHz local bus.
Features
PCI local bus specification r2.2 vital product data configuration support
Flexible local bus provides 32-bit multiplexed or non-multiplexed protocol for 8-, 16-, or 32-bit peripheral and memory devices
