NOE

NOE is an interface chip dedicated to high performance network control. It is 64 bit 66 MHz PCI initiator and target agent full PCI 2.1 compliant. This chip has 2 HSL (1 Gbit/s full duplex) port. The protocol is implemented by firmware and data flow is performed by specific hardware to minimize latency and maximize bandwidth. More informations about NOE here. The full specification of NOE is available in postscript form (243kb)

FastHSL/SmartHSL

FastHSL is a board including both a RCube and a PCIDDC chip.
SmartHSL is a board containing both a RCube and a DSP (Motorola-56301).
You may acquire some of those boards : please contact mpc@mpc.lip6.fr.
