Course Description
You will learn how to build a PCI Express endpoint in an Arria® II GX device in under 45 minutes! You will discover how Quartus® II software v. 9.0 tools such as SOPC Builder and the PCI Express Compiler simplify the design and verification process. You will see how easy it is to incorporate Arria II GX device features such as the PCI Express Hard IP block and the serial gigabit transceivers into your design. If you choose, you may download detailed exercise instructions, so that you can practice developing and verifying a PCI Express system using the Quartus II software and ModelSim® simulation tool on your own.At Course Completion
