Using the Demo

Application and

Example Design

The kit provides an example design file and an easy-to-use demo

application with a custom GUI. Using the demo application GUI you can:

■ Specify endpoint (PCI Express x8 MegaCore function) DMA read,

write, and loop commands

■ Specify memory read/write and loop commands

■ Read various configuration and DMA registers

In this section, you perform the following tasks:

■ Install the demo application drivers and PCI Express development

board

■ Perform memory read and write transactions on the board

■ Read configuration and DMA registers

1 The Stratix II GX PCI Express development board ships with a

pre-installed example design. For instructions on installing the

example design or any other design to the flash memory on the

board, refer to Appendix A, Using the Parallel Flash Loader.

Data Flow Block Diagram

Figure 2–3 shows a block diagram of the data flow from the x8 PCI

Express edge connector through the Stratix II GX device block, which

includes the application layer, Altera PCI Express x8 MegaCore function,

and the Quartus II software alt2gxb megafunction.

The kit’s demo application allows for memory read and write

transactions to the development board. In addition, the kit’s example

design (SIIGX_PCIe_Example_Design.sof) has a DMA engine that

allows the development board to write to system memory.
