Hello
Firts of all, if you're planning to connect a board to a sun workstation you should choose what type of bus. if you choose the PCI bus there are several options:
1) To design on yourself the interface: I think the starting point is the book "PCI System Architecture". Then you should choose the FPGA: cyclone from Altera for example.
2) To get a free PCI core and maybe optimizate the code.
3) If you are not used to work with FPGA, use a core from Altera or Xilink.
There are PCI board available from diferents manufactures or distributors: Altera, Memec,..
see you,

Hi,
I'm planning to interface a SUN workstation to an FPGA on a
development board using perhaps a PCI bus i.e run computationally
intensive parts of an algorithm on the fpga,by using an interrupt
mechanisam(or function call to the fpga).
What are the issues I should look at and what would be a starting point
to develop the interface,or there any regular off the shelf products
which can be used either directly or with slight modification.
Kindly do help me out.
Thanks,
Sriram
