DAQTron 3501 FPGA / Processor Offload Engine
The DAQTron 3501 Offload Engine is the ultimate module for taking demands off of the host CPU in a Compact PCI Express (cPCIe) system. Using a hybrid approach of embedded processor and FPGA, tasks that would normally overload the host CPU or the backplane can easily be offloaded to on board processing. Further, the ability to segment the application either to the onboard embedded processor or the FPGA allows for the most efficient design possible.
The 3501 is intended to be used with other cPCI I/O modules. Data to/from these I/O modules can either be directed through the backplane and host CPU to/from the 3501, or streamed directly using peer-to-peer streaming (available in the near future).
A driver and documentation package is provided with the 3501 such that the user can develop and integrate VHDL or Verilog design directly to the FPGA and code directly to the embedded processor.
