Eureka Technology Successfully Validated and Demonstrated PCI Express Controller IP Core
LOS ALTOS, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 15, 2005—
Eureka Technology Inc., a leading intellectual property
(IP) core provider, today announces the successful completion of the
demonstration and validation of its PCI Express Controller Core.
Eureka Technology's rigorous validation process consists of four
components: (1) PCI Express Configuration Test suite (PCIE-CV)
published by PCI-SIG, (2) PCI Express Link and Transaction Protocol
Test using industrial standard E2969A PCI Express Protocol Tester by
Agilent Technologies, (3) demonstration system consisting of Rambus's
PCI Express physical layer (PHY) cells, Eureka's PCI Express
Controller Core, and software operating in Windows XP environment, and
(4) interoperability test between Eureka's PCI Express Controller Core
and many PCI Express systems based on chipsets from various
manufacturers.
Eureka's PCI Express Controller Core is designed for both ASIC and
FPGA implementations. The Controller Core includes the Transaction
Layer, Data Link Layer and Physical Layer of the PCI Express
Specification. It conforms to the latest 1.0a revision and it supports
industrial standard PIPE interface for on-chip PHY core and
stand-alone off-chip PHY devices.
"We are very pleased with the validation results and
interoperability between our core and various systems and Rambus's PCI
Express PHY cells," said Simon Lau, President of Eureka Technology.
"By building upon our experience on PCI and PCI-X standards, we are
able to deliver the much higher performance of PCI Express technology
to our customers quickly. The PCI Express IP Core once again
demonstrates our commitment to bus interface technologies and
continued investment in bringing state-of-the-art products to our
customers."
With technology independent design methodologies, the PCI Express
Controller Core can be implemented virtually in all ASIC and FPGA
technologies available today. While supporting the latest PCI-Express
standard, the core shares the same user interface as existing PCI and
PCI-X controller core, ensuring an easy migration for customers to PCI
Express standard. The common user interface also allows the PCI
Express Controller Core to be integrated easily with other proven IP
cores such as system controller and MemConnect memory controller.
