Establish communication between the CrossLink-NX PCIe Bridge Board through the PCI Express link Run the PCI Express Basic Demo that allows you to control three 7 segment LEDs on the CrossLink-NX PCIe Bridge Board. This demo is included in the user interface.
To install the kit design and run the demo software, a computer with a PCI Express ×16, ×8, ×4, or ×1 slot is required. The computer must also have a USB port and be able to run the Lattice Radiant Software. All other hardware and drivers are included in the kit.
CrossLink-NX PCIe Bridge Board Basic Demo User Guide 3. Setting Up the Demo 3.1. Hardware Setup This section covers the steps in programming the demo to the SPI memory of the CrossLink-NX PCIe Bridge Board. 3.1.1. Jumper Configuration Install the jumpers listed in Table 3.1.
If external 12 V power is provided, then SW2 should be in the down position to receive power from the external 12 V connection. Connect the board to the PC running the Lattice Radiant software with the Mini USB Type A Cable as...
The Installer provides a standard packaging format for applications and a standard method for customizing the applications. The installer helps to install the CrossLink-NX PCIe Bridge Board Basic Demo application in your system. The Framework supported version is Windows 10 use WDF 1.25 or earlier.
Lattice CL-NX PCIe Bridge board. The PCIe IP present in the Lattice FPGA on the CL-NX PCIe Bridge Board acts as a PCIe endpoint occupying certain ranges of PCI memory space.
User Guide 5. Application Overview The PCIe Basic demo shows the capabilities of the Lattice FPGA and the PCI Express Endpoint IP core functionality in a PCI Express slot in a Linux (Ubuntu)/Windows 10 PC. This demo software allows you to access memory and registers on the board and provides real time interaction with the CrossLink NX Bridge Board hardware to demonstrate a functional PCI Express communications path between the application, driver software and the FPGA IP.
2. Click Open project and browse the LIFCL-40_PCIe_Basic_Demo.rdf file, which is located in the BridgeBoard_PCIe_BasicDemo\Hardware\CL_NX_BridgeBoard_PCIeBasicDemo\Implementation\LIFCL- 40_PCIe_Basic_Demo folder. 3. Once your project loads, click Task Detail View. This shows a list of actions that Lattice Radiant will perform to build the .bit file. 4. Select the files and reports that you want to generate.
If you are getting a verification error while dumping the .bit file, try changing the TCK frequency to a value greater than 4. The TCK Divider Setting option is in the Cable Setup dialog box of the Lattice Radiant Programmer Window,...
