PCI 9656RDK-LITE
Rapid Development Kit For PCI 9656 Generic Local Bus Designs
An Invaluable Development Aid
The PLX PCI 9656RDK-LITE (RDK-LITE) delivers a flexible development platform for
designs using the PCI 9656 with generic 32-bit local bus devices. The RDK-LITE is
shipped pre-configured for de-multiplexed generic address/data bus operation, but is
very easily reconfigured for multiplexed address/data bus applications. The RDK-LITE
provides 32 suftace-mount footprints for hardware designers to easily add processors,
DSPs, ASICs, FPGAs, memory, and I/O devices to test, simulate, and debug their
designs without fabricating their own boards, which can save considerable time in the
development process and shorten time to market. The RDK-LITE also includes the PLX
Software Development Kite Lite Edition (SDK-LITE) CD, which provides a complete
Microsoft Windows
®
software development environment. The PCI 9656RDK-LITE's
software, hardware registers, and footprints are backward-compatible with the PCI
9054RDK-LITE, simplifying the move from existing 32-bit, 33MHz PCI 9054 generic
local-bus designs into 64-bit, 66MHz PCI 9656 based products.

A Complete Package
The hardware reference board serves as both a hardware and software development
platform for PCI 9656 based designs. This board is configured for de-multiplexed
address and data bus operation (C Mode), but it is user configurable for multiplexed
address and data bus operation (J Mode). Its local bus memory controller and SRAM
enable immediate Direct Slave and DMA code development and testing. Its large and
flexible prototyping area enables the easy extension of the test and debug features of
the RDK to include your value added logic.
The Hardware Development Kit LITE (HDK-LITE) CD-ROM includes complete
documentation of the reference board hardware design, making its components easily
reusable in your designs. This documentation includes the board schematics, the board
layout source and output files, Bill of Materials (BOM), the Verilog source code for the
CPLD memory controller and manuals in PDF fromat.
The SDK-LITE is a CD-ROM which provides a complete set of Windows host side
software and tools, including host-side Windows 98/Me/NT/2000 drivers for the
reference board, PCI 9656 specific APIs and object code libraries, and the PLXMon
Windows GUI debug tool. The APIs are backward compatible with the PCI 9054,
enabling the easy migration of PCI 9054 software to the PCI 9656.
