RE: New project...PCI based servo control board

["Craig Edwards" <cedwards-at-ceinetworks.com>]

THANKS Paul, I was really unaware there was an open core available for PCI.
My company just (well...last year) spend a lot of $$$ and a fair amount of
time debugging a PCI core from one of the FPGA vendors.  Since we have a
multi-use site license, I was considering going that route. But I'll discuss
this option with one of the engineers most familiar with VHDL code for PCI
and see what he thinks of this code.

Hi Criag

www.opencores.org have a number of GPL VHDL designs - Including one for a 32

bit PCI bridge. There is no need to go to the expense and burdens of NDA for

the basic core.

Regards, Paul.
