Hi there.

I've been playing with a CPLD on a prototype board for a few months, and have interfaced it to the ISA bus. However, I'd really like to start working on a PCI-based card.
The PCI example code on this site looks pretty easy to understand, but from what I can see browsing comp.arch.fpga making a PCI core that doesn't violate timing requirements for a real-world application is pretty hard for someone with my kind of skill level. So I've found a board with a dedicated PCI interface - the PLX9030.
All I'm asking, really, is are these chips any good? I'm kind of wary about buying a board for lots of cash with chips I've never used - has anyone had any experience with this stuff?

And is it unrealistic for me to try to build my own PCI PCB, if I don't use a dedicated interface IC? I'm kind of worried by the stringent requirements on things such as trace length...

PLX good chip.
and
Tiger320 very good

Hi, do you know where to get the tiger320 chip ? I can't seem to find any distributor ... Also how much does it usually cost ?

Try to contact TigerJet and ask them.
