Virtex-6 ML605 Gen-2 PCIe Support

February 7th, 2010

Xilinx has bumped the Gen-2 PCIe core to revision 1.4 in ISE 11.4, and the latest drop of OpenCPI supports Gen2 operation with the ML605. We are working with Xilinx to ensure a smooth transition to ISE 12 as soon as it becomes public. A short video of three development systems is linked here.

OpenCPI now supports Xilinx ISE 11.4

December 9th, 2009

ISE 11.4 support is now available for Xilinx-based OpenCPI platforms. We ran the PIO and DMA regressions last night against oc1001-ml555, and have a deeper regression suite planned for the upcoming weekend. There were only minor issues related to the PCIe endpoint. QoR and runtime are essentially unchanged.

Virtex-6 ML605 first-functional DMA in OpenCPI

November 15th, 2009

Avnet delivered Atomic Rules’ first ML605 board last Friday afternoon. Although no core OpenCPI code change was needed, there were several Xilinx tool scripting issues (V6 specific) that we resolved. We ran all of our PCIe passive and DMA regressions with the ML605. It was tested interacting with the host; and peer-peer DMA with an ML555. It is fully-functional and observed identical to our ML555, XUPV5, ALDER, and SX95T regressions. All simulations were done with ISim, all RTL synthesis with XST.

Support for XUPV5-LX110T in the works

October 27th, 2009

Although not yet merged into the mainline, or formally committed to, the Xilinx XUPV5-LX110T board has been seen running the “oc1001″ reference application against the rplTest regressions. More details over at: http://atomicrules.blogspot.com/2009/10/more-boards-less-risk.html

Nice Military OSS Post

August 7th, 2009

Jim Stogdill post a nice piece about military open source software at radar.oreilly.com, OpenCPI is mentioned:

Three Quick Open Source in Defense Links

Next week I’ll be participating in the inaugural Military Open Source Software Working Group Conference in Atlanta Georgia. Open source conferences that focus on the defense market are often salesy, have a dearth of actual developers, and tend toward sartorial blandness – a sea of dark blue suits worn by open source vendor sales people so they can convince hesitant buyers that their wares are just like the other guys.

Also if you are in and around Atlanta, we’ll be at the developers Mill-OSS working group next week August 12-13. Very cheap and very goo!
