PXI Express over IP
Published article in the current edition of www.all-electronics.de.
PXI Express over IP allows the connection of PXI-Modules with existing ethernet networks. It is based on the technology of Fraunhofer HHI for processing TCP/IP via FPGA-logic. With this technology it is possible to transmit PCIe-Transaction-Layer-Packages over TCP/IP. The following implementation shows the proof of concept.
PXI Express over IP ermöglicht die Verbindung von PXI-Modulen über vorhandene Ethernet-Netze. Basierend auf der Technologie vom Fraunhofer HHI zur Verarbeitung von TCP/IP in FPGA-Logik werden PCIe-Transaction-Layer-Pakete über TCP/IP getunnelt. Eine beispielhafte Implementierung zeigt die Machbarkeit dieses Konzeptes.
