PCI Express Expresso 3.0 IP Core
The PCI Express Expresso 3.0 Core has been specifically designed for ease of use and includes the following key features:
- High-performance, easy to use core
- PCI Express Base Specification Revision 3.0/2.0/1.1 compliant
- x1, x2, x4, x8, x16 lane support
- 8.0, 5.0, and 2.5 Gbit/s SERDES support

- End Point, Root Port, Upstream Switch Port, Downstream Switch Port, Bifurcation support
PCI Express Expresso DMA Bridge IP Core
The PCI Express Expresso DMA Bridge IP Core provides high-performance DMA and/or bridging between PCI Express and AXI for both Endpoint and Root Port applications. Key features include:
- Provides high performance PCIe-AXI Bridge and/or scatter-gather DMA operation
- Works with Northwest Logic soft Expresso Cores and FPGA hard cores
- Provides complete Root Port Bridging support
- Supports memory-mapped/streaming (FIFO) DMA operation
- Can be configured with multiple DMA Channels which are independently controlled by software
- Provides Address translations and security support
- Supports legacy, MSI, MSI-X and local AXI interrupts
Using the DMA Bridge core eliminates the need for the user to implement their own DMA and/or bridging design thus significantly reducing development time and risk. In addition, Northwest Logic provides companion Windows and Linux Expresso DMA Drivers. The Expresso DMA Driver works hand-in-hand with the Expresso DMA Bridge Core.
