Overview

Today, the PCI bus is the number-one device connectivity standard on the market to integrate modern embedded applications into bigger systems. The Beyond PCI Bridge IP Core is built according to PCI specification Rev. 2.2 (or lower) and provides a backend connection that is WISHBONE open-standard compatible. Since standardized backend is rarely seen in common IP cores, the architecture-independent interface, which can be used in a wide variety of applications, is the PCI Bride IP Core’s major benefit.

Key features
