Simplified Digital Interface Using the PCI BusThe aim of this project was to create a simplified digital interface using the PCI bus. The simplifications were required to allow efficient yet simply use of current high-speed PC based interface technologies. An FPGA based, PCI add-on card was used allowing rapid prototyping of hardware interface designs. Initial set-up of the card was lengthy due to minimal user support and documentation but it proved to be a useful and well designed tool. A simply yet effective interface was created to demonstrate digital I/O usage and control of a digital to analogue converter. This project has shown that an FPGA can be used as a PCI interface plus provide auxiliary functionality. Having created a solid foundation and understanding it is now possible to use the equipment to conduct more extensive research into the usage of the card.I have completed the report now and it can be downloaded if you are interested. It is rather large though, at 2.2MB
