Board Support Software for the Pentek Model 7858 PCIe Board
Pentek's ReadyFlow
Model 7858 PCIe board. This includes a device driver for the 7858, plus the ReadyFlow
Board Support Library data structures and routines. The following available BSPs
allow high−level programming for various workstation platforms. Refer to the User's
Guide indicated for each platform:
• Model 4994A Option 156 ReadyFlow BSP for Linux
• Model 4995A Option 156 ReadyFlow BSP for Windows
• Model 4996A Option 156 ReadyFlow BSP for VxWorks
Pentek's ReadyFlow
for the Model 715x. Refer to the Programmer's Reference for the Model 7156 (801.71561).
NOTE:
Software for the FPGAs
The FPGA is supported with a Pentek GateFlow
Design Kit (Model 4953−158 Options −083, −084, −085, and −087) facilitates user−
installed FPGA functions using the Xilinx ISE Foundation tool suite. The FPGA Design
Kit allows you to modify, add to, or replace the default logic functions within the FPGA
with functions of your own definition.
Note that GateFlow is a very specialized software package intended for users with
experience in FPGA logic programming. This package may not be required if your
application needs are met with the Pentek−default FPGA code.
Refer to the following GateFlow software documentation: Pentek Model 4953−158−083/
084/085/087 User's Manual: Design Kit for the Processing FPGA on the Model 7158 PMC/
XMC Dual A/D & D/A Converter (807.71580).
