Host Connectivity
The platform implements connectivity to the host computer using the Xilinx DMA
subsystem for PCI Express® (PCIe) IP, which contains a scatter-gather DMA and a PCIe 3.x
integrated block.
For best performance on the Kintex® UltraScale™ KCU1500 Acceleration development
board, the PCIe integrated block can negotiate a link up to Gen3 x8 connectivity, or 8.0 GT/s.
The Kintex UltraScale KCU1500 Acceleration development board supplies a 100 MHz
reference clock and uses PCIe block location X0Y0. The platform uses an AXI
memory-mapped interface operating at 250 MHz with a 256-bit data width. The basic
customization of the Xilinx DMA subsystem for PCIe IP core (herein referred to as the XDMA
IP core) is shown in the following figure.
X-Ref Target - Figure 3-3
For compatibility with the provided kernel mode and HAL drivers, the XDMA IP instance is
customized to use Vendor ID 0x10EE (Xilinx Vendor ID), Device IDs 0x4B27 and 0x4B28 ,
and Subsystem ID 0x4340.
