Getting Started

The PCI interface provides a fully verified, pre-implemented PCI bus interface available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions with support for operation at 33 MHz and 66 MHz. This guide defines the supported design flows for both the 32-bit and 64-bit interfaces targeting devices based on the Virtex and Spartan architectures. In addition, an example design is provided in both Verilog-HDL and VHDL that lets you simulate, synthesize, and implement the interface to understand the PCI design flow.

About the Example Design

The example design is a simple user application provided as a training tool and design flow test. The example design consists of the user application Ping, and supporting files for simulation and implementation. The PCI32 interface ships with the ping32 design, and the PCI64 interface ships with the ping64 design. The examples in this document reference
ping64. If you are using the 32-bit core, substitute ping32 for ping64.
Chapter 1
The Ping design includes a testbench capable of generating simple read and write transactions. This stimulation generation capability is used to set up the configuration space of the design, and then perform some simple transactions. In addition, a special configuration file is provided, and the testbench makes assumptions about the size and number of base address registers used.
Users may change the core options related to implementation, that is, the options that relate to the selected FPGA architecture. However, users must not change core options that alter the functional behavior of the PCI core; such changes cause unpredictable results in the simulation of the example design. For custom designs, users have the flexibility to change the PCI core configuration as described in the PCI v3.0 User Guide.
Step-by-step instructions using supported design tools are provided to simulate, synthesize, and implement the Ping example design.

Installing the Core

You can install the PCI core in three ways:
• Using the CORE Generator IP Updates Installer, which displays a list of compatible updates from which you select the desired core or core update
• Performing a manual installation of the appropriate ISE CORE Generator IP Update
• Directly downloading it from the PCI lounge, a secured area of the PCI product page
Note: The first two methods apply to configurations of the core delivered through the CORE Generator. To access the CORE Generator full product license or to download the core directly from the PCI lounge, you must purchase the core.

CORE Generator IP Updates Installer

1. From the CORE Generator main GUI, choose Tools > Updates Installer to start the Updates Installer.
2. If prompted for a proxy host, contact your administrator to determine the proxy host address and port number you need to get through your firewall.
3. Select 7.1i_IP_Update3 from the list of updates in the Available Packages panel.
4. Click Add To Install Queue to add the update ZIP file to the install queue.
5. Do one of the following:
• If prompted to enter a log-in name and password, enter your Xilinx log-in and
password.
• If you are new to Xilinx, click Create an Account and follow the instructions to
create an account. (After creating an account, you will be redirected to the page to download the core.)
6. Click Install All Packages from Queue to download the update.
After downloading the update, the Updates Installer terminates the CORE Generator session and installs the downloaded archive. After the download is complete, you can restart the CORE Generator.
Chapter 2: Installing and Licensing the Core
7. To confirm the installation, check the following file:
C:\Xilinx\coregen\install\install_history
Note: This step assumes your Xilinx software is installed in C:\Xilinx.

Manual Installation: CORE Generator IP Update

1. Close the CORE Generator application if it is running.
2. Download the IP Update ZIP file (Windows) or tar.gz file (UNIX) from the following location and save it to a temporary directory:
http://www.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_sw_updates_home.jsp?update=ip&software=7.1i
• If prompted to enter a log-in name and password, enter your Xilinx log-in and
password.
• If you are new to Xilinx, click Create an Account and follow the instructions to
create an account.
3. Do one of the following:
• For Windows, unpack the ZIP file using WinZip 7.0 SR-1 or later.
• For UNIX, Xilinx recommends that you unpack the tar.gz file using the UNIX
command line utilities gunzip and tar. WinZip and GNU tar are not recommended due to differences in the way they handle files with long path names. Please see Xilinx Answer 11162
4. Extract the ZIP file (ise_71i_ip_update3.zip) or tar.gz (ise_71i_ip_update3.tar.gz) archive to the root directory of your Xilinx software installation. Allow the extractor utility to overwrite all existing files and maintain the directory structure defined in the archive.
5. To verify the root directory of your Xilinx installation, do one of the following:
• For Windows: Type
echo%XILINX% from a DOS prompt.
• For Unix: If you have already installed the Xilinx ISE software, the Xilinx variable
defined by your set-up script identifies the location of the Xilinx installation directory. After sourcing the Xilinx set-up script, type
for details.
.
echo $XILINX to determine

the location of the Xilinx installation. Note that you may need system administrator privileges to install the update.
6. Confirm the directory structure in one of the following ways:
• For Windows:
<Xilinx_root_directory>\coregen\ip\xilinx\network_ip1_h\com\xilinx \ip\pci64_v30151
• For UNIX:
<Xilinx_root_directory>/coregen/ip/xilinx/network_ip1_h/com/xilinx /ip/pci64_v30151
If you do not see this directory structure, recheck the directory to which you extracted the archive and try again.
7. Restart the CORE Generator. During start-up, the CORE Generator automatically detects new versions of IP available in your installation and lets you specify which IP customizers (cores) will be visible in your current CORE Generator project.
8. Choose one of the following options:
• Display only the latest versions for all cores in the catalog
• Update the catalog view to add only new cores to the display
• Make a Custom selection of visible cores in your current project
9. Determine if the installation was successful by verifying that the new cores are visible in the CORE Generator GUI.
10. If the new cores aren’t visible, return to Step 6 to verify the directory structure. If the directory structure is incorrect, return Step 4 to verify that the directory was extracted to the correct location.
For additional assistance installing the IP Update, contact the Xilinx Hotline.
