LatticeECP3 Versa Dev Kit PCI Express Video

Take a moment to watch this short video presentation on PCI Express with the LatticeECP3 Versa Development Kit. The video demonstrates the quick and easy process of installing the development kit and evaluation board, setting up the demos, and getting to working hardware in less than 30 minutes! The Versa Kit empowers designers to build both PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet based systems. The Kit offers free design tools, readymade demos, reference designs, a versatile evaluation board, and a serial programming cable. The evaluation board features an LFE3-35EA-8FN484C FPGA device, 64 Mbit SPI Flash, 1Gbit DDR3 memory, expansion headers, several LEDs, and user switches. It contains a PCI Express x1 (Half-length form-factor), two RJ45, and 4 SMA interfaces.

• Understand the features and capabilities of the LatticeECP3 Versa development kit
• See the PCI Express Basic demo, showing simple interaction between the demo running on the PC and the PCI Express IP core on the evaluation board.
• Watch the Scatter-Gather DMA demo, which transfers a color bar gradient image from the evaluation board memory to PC memory for display, showing simple block transfers graphically through the change in colors.
