Unified Development Kit: UDK

The UDK is a comprehensive concept to access CESYS FPGA boards with different host interfaces (USB, PCI or PCIe) using unique function calls. Actually supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista and LINUX. A LabView Interface is also part of the UDK. Please contact us if you need information about adaption and licensing of the UDK to non-CESYS hardware.

On the host-side, there is a standardized API "udkapi_vc[ver]_[arch].lib". On the FPGA-side a standardized 32-bit Wishbone-Bus interface is used. FPGA-designs and their associated PC-software run on all supported operating systems and all supported Cesys FPGA boards with no or minimal code changes. For customer specific developments we also use the UDK. This way, we do not only achieve a significant reduction of development costs but also a great freedom when choosing operating systems or host interfaces. Code Example:
#include "udkapi.h" using namespace ceUDK; void TransferSomeData(ceDevice pDev){ // declare some variables unsigned int uiBaseAddress = 0x0; unsigned int uiWriteVal = 0x11111111; unsigned int uiReadVal = 0x0; // write, read and compare some values for(unsigned int i=0; i<4; ++i){ pDev->WriteRegister(uiBaseAddress, uiWriteVal); uiReadVal = pDev->ReadRegister(uiBaseAddress); if(uiWriteVal != uiReadVal){ throw ceException(0x80000000, "Register test failed due to data inconsistence."); } uiWriteVal <<= 1; } } int main(){ // begin of exception catch area try{ // initialize API and enumerate EFM01 boards. ceDevice::Init(); ceDevice::Enumerate(ceDevice::ceDT_USB_EFM01); // check if any device is detected if(0!=ceDevice::GetDeviceCount()){ // access first device ceDevice pDev = ceDevice::GetDevice(0); // open device for usage pDev->Open(); // program the FPGA pDev->ProgramFPGAFromBIN("AnyUserDesign.bin"); // do some data transfer TransferSomeData(pDev); // device not needed anymore, close it pDev->Close(); }else{ cout << "No device detected." << endl; } }catch(ceException &e){ cout << e.GetErrorText() << endl; } // deinitialize API ceDevice::DeInit(); return 0; } For further information on Cesys FPGA boards or if you have questions, please visit our FPGA-Forum, send an E-Mail or call us: +49 9132 733 400.
