FCN Developers Kit (FDK)
The FCN Developer's Kit assists the development of an FPGA compute node (FCN) application bitstreams from a collection of Mercury-supplied reusable IP modules, customer-developed IP modules, and third-party IP modules. The FDK includes Mercury intellectual property (IP) modules, a validated default bitstream, and an easy-to-use API. The FDK provides the optimized infrastructure necessary to interface the FPGA application with a high-performance switch fabric, on-board memory, communications, system command and control, and I/O.
Features
- RACE-on-Chip (RoC) high-bandwidth interconnect
- Dual DMA master/slave (DMS) switch-fabric endpoint
- Memory controllers for both DRAM and SRAM
- Serial front panel data port (SFPDP) interface
- Internal control register (ICR) bus
- RoC-to-ICR bridge (RIB)
Benefits
- Expert switch fabric, memory, and I/O integration
- Open interfaces, shared across products and generations
- Faster FPGA development and integration
- Mitigates project risks
