SATA-IP core - File system management without CPU

SATA IP core compliant with the Serial ATA specification revision 3.0 and work on AMD UltraScale and 7-Series device.

This IP core provide link layer. Design Gateway provide transport layer and 150MHz GTX physical layer design for 6.0Gbps SATA-III interface as reference design. It can connect with SATA-III HDD directly without external PHY chip.

• Compliant with the Serial ATA specification revision 3.0
• Support both of SATA Host and SATA Device (Applicable to SATA Peripheral development)
• Compact and small resource usage (less than 500 Slices), suitable for multi-channel RAID system
• Adopted by NASA, proven high reliability
• Simple transaction interface with Host processor or DMA Engine
• 32-bit internal data path
• 4KB FIFO implemented by BlockRAM in transmit and receive paths
• Low frequency operation
• - IP Core and PHY clock 150MHz for SATA-III
• - IP Core clock 75.0MHz and PHY clock 150MHz for SATA-II
• - IP Core clock 37.5MHz and PHY clock 75MHz for SATA-I
• CONT primitive support for continue primitive suppression to reduce EMI
• Support 40bit width PHY implemented by 7-Series GTX
• Able to evaluate on AMD FPGA boards before purchasing the IP core
• Support AHCI, Linux boot up from Zynq-7000 device.
• Host Controller IP (HCTL IP) is available to be provided with SATA-IP core.
• exFAT & FAT32 file system management without CPU usage (Option)
