Course Description
In this online course, you will be introduced to building PCI Express® solutions targeting the Cyclone® IV GX, Arria® II GX/GZ, Stratix® IV GX/GT, and HardCopy® IV GX device families. You will learn about the available PCI Express Hard IP block and how to customize its layers using the Quartus® II software to create your own PCI Express design. You will see how to integrate a PCI Express solution into an embedded system using the Qsys system integration tool. 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. NOTE: This training does not cover the Stratix V device family.At Course Completion
You will be able to:- Describe the features and functionality of the PCI Express hard IP block found in select Altera® devices
- Build a PCI Express solution containing the PCI Express hard IP block
- Successfully integrate a PCI Express hard IP block solution into a Qsys system and describe how it interfaces with the Qsys interconnect
