FPGA Setup for NVMe-IP (for Gen4)/
This document describes the FPGA and environment setup for running NVMe-IP, NVMe-IP for
Gen4, NVMeG3-IP, or NVMeG4-IP demo on FPGA development board by using the PCIe adapter
board (AB18-PCIeX16, AB17-M2FMC, AB16-PCIeXOVR, or customized AB18-PCIeX16 adapter
board) with NVMe SSD. User controls the test operation via Serial console.
1 Environment Requirement
To run the demo on FPGA development board, please prepare following environment.
1) Supported FPGA Development board:
NVMe-IP for Gen4: Alveo-U50
NVMe-IP
NVMeG3-IP
NVMeG4-IP
2) PC installing Xilinx programmer software (Vivado) and Serial console software such as
HyperTerminal or TeraTerm
3) The PCIe adapter board (AB18-PCIeX16, AB17-M2FMC, AB16-PCIeXOVR, or
customized AB18-PCIeX16 adapter board) provided by Design Gateway
https://dgway.com/ABseries_E.html
Note: Customized AB18-PCIeX16 adapter board is the AB18 board which needs to
modified by the user to use Alveo-U50 connecting with NVMe SSD via PCIe connector.
The details of the board modification are described in Topic 3 (Customized AB18 board).
4) Xilinx power adapter for FPGA board, except Alveo-U50
5) ATX power supply for AB18-PCIeX16 adapter board or Customized AB18 board for
Alveo-U50
6) NVMe SSD connecting with PCIe adapter board
7) USB cable for JTAG programming and Serial console
7-series board
