More Than a Firmware Development Kit
Elegantly simple and modular, the expressXG Development Framework consists of an interface wrapper and a user sandbox. The wrapper, a hardware abstraction layer, provides a robust user interface to all high-performance interfaces required for a FPGA Ethernet card to fully function. The sandbox region, where designers play, features easy-to-follow examples that will jump-start user application development and debugging. All features are intended to promote the rapid coding and integration of high-performance applications with FPGA technology.
Software Libraries, Drivers and Diagnostics
The expressXG Development Framework includes high-performance software libraries and drivers supported for both the Linux and VxWorks operating systems. Included in the package are software APIs, kernel drivers, libraries, and software examples — everything programmers need to develop applications that communicate seamlessly with the expressXG Development Framework.
Also available is the easy-to-use RS-232 diagnostic utility, which was designed exclusively as a way to access the memory space on New Wave DV’s FPGA network cards via the RS-232 interface. This provides a flexible alternative to diagnosing system behavior without relying on the host.
