1 Introduction
PCIE (PCI Express) adopts the current popular point-to-point serial connection in the industry. Compared with the shared parallel architecture of PCI and earlier computer buses, each device has its own dedicated connection. It does not need to request bandwidth from the entire bus, and it can Improving the data transmission rate to a very high frequency and achieving the high bandwidth that PCI cannot provide is the preferred direction of high-speed interfaces in various industries at present, and has high practical value and learning value;
This design uses Xilinx's official XDMA solution to build a PCIE communication platform based on Xilinx series FPGAs. This solution is only applicable to Xilinx series FPGAs. It also provides XDMA installation drivers and QT host computer source codes, eliminating the need to use XDMA tedious drivers. I am at a loss for finding and developing PC software, and building a vivado project, saves the embarrassment of not knowing how to use XDMA, making the use of PCIE easy to use, without having to care about its complicated PCIE protocol; because I The development board only supports PCIE X8, so the code provided is PCIE X8 architecture. If you need friends with PCIE X1, X2, X8, X16, X32, you can modify this project by yourself, or follow me, I will release new projects in real time .
The basic PCIE speed test of this project has been modified, and AD9226 data is collected in real time, and after DDR3 is cached, it is sent to the QT host computer display program through PCIE; it belongs to the high-end project in the field of FPGA image acquisition. . .
This article describes in detail the design scheme based on XDMA to build PCIE real-time acquisition of AD9226 data. The engineering code can be comprehensively compiled and debugged on the board, and can be directly transplanted. For high-speed interfaces and data acquisition and transmission fields in medical and military industries;
provide complete and smooth engineering source code and technical support;
the method of obtaining engineering source code and technical support is at the end of the article, please be patient to the end;
2. My existing PCIE solution
My homepage has a PCIE communication column, including PCIE solutions based on RIFFA and PCIE solutions based on XDMA; there are simple data interaction, speed measurement, and application-level image acquisition and transmission. The following is the address of the column: Click to go

3. PCIE theory
For this part, you can learn theoretical knowledge from Baidu or csdn or Zhihu. In fact, XDMA is used, and there is no need for complex protocols and theories until PCIE. . .
4. Overall design idea and scheme
The overall design idea and scheme are as follows:
The PCIe communication routine consists of three parts: FPGA-side program, PCIe card driver, and PCIe host computer test program:
FPGA-side project: responsible for establishing the FPGA framework required for communication with PCIe, and the construction of the PCIe communication protocol ;
PCIe driver: responsible for the data exchange between the host computer test program and the PCIe card;
PCIe host computer test program: PCIe display here;
Video input: oscilloscope generates sine wave analog input source;
data cache: use AXI4 bus to realize AD data reading and writing DDR3, here do 3 frame buffers;
output 2: PCIE X8;
QT speed measurement host computer: provide source code and executable Program, the release version is QT5.6.2;
