PCI 9080RDK-401B
Reference Design Kit with PCI SDK
The PLX PCI 9080RDK-401B simplifies your PCI design providing
you with a complete hardware and software development envi-
ronment. The reference design kit includes a PCI v2.1 compliant
board based on the powerful combination of the PLX PCI
9080 Bus Master I/O Accelerator Chip and the IBM PowerPC
401GF 32-bit embedded RISC processor as the local CPU. Also
included in the reference design kit is the PLX PCI software develop-
ment kit (SDK) which features a complete set of software development tools
including host and local side PCI APIs for the PCI 9080, the Board Support
Package (BSP) "C" source code necessary for porting to the target design, and
sample Windows
NT
drivers which significantly reduce the time necessary to
develop PCI software. Also included is PLXMon
98, a robust and comprehen-
sive Windows NT based GUI tool that allows for interactive PCI and local
bus device monitoring, debugging, configuration, and code download to the
RDK board.
The PCI 9080RDK-401B addresses the need to quickly bring your embedded
design to market while providing you with a longer term investment, a software
development platform that will enable you to migrate from the PCI 9080 to
future PLX products such as the IOP 480 (Intelligent I/O processor).
The PCI 9080 Bus Master I/O Accelerator interface chip available from PLX
provides a compact, high performance PCI bus master interface for adapter
boards and embedded systems. The PCI 9080 includes two high performance
DMA channels, programmable burst modes, and messaging functions. In
addition, the programmable local bus can be configured to directly connect to
a wide variety of processors, controllers, and memory subsystems.
