GTFPGA

The GTFPGA card is an extension card for simulator racks from RTDS. The manufacturer provides a VHDL module to exchange data via fiber optics between the GTFPGA and GPC cards.

The GTFPGA card is based on the Xilinx ML507 evaluation board. This board consists of a Virtex 5 FPGA, Ethernet and Fiberoptic MACs and an integrated PowerPC core.

The PowerPC core is used to forward values between RTDS and the S2SS server.

Configuration

Every gtfpga node support the following special settings:

slot

id

rate

Example

gtfpga_node = {
	type = "gtfpga",
	
### The following settings are specific to the gtfpga node-type!! ###

	slot = "01:00.0",			# The PCIe slot location (see first column in 'lspci' output)
	id = "1ab8:4005",			# The PCIe vendor:device ID (see third column in 'lspci -n' output)
	
	rate = 1
}
