M-Module Carrier Based on PCI Bus

Based on the detailed analysis of M-Module specification and PCI specification, this thesis design a kind of M-Module carrier which based on PCI bus. The design use FPGA as core controller in the design of hardware to decrease difficulty and cost. The design used IP core to control PCI interface and developed firmware for M-Module interface. This design solved a series of problems such as the problem of the address not matching, fast data transmission, data select table simplification etc. The M-Module carrier supports normal reading and writing, burst transmission, asynchronous event trigger function, interrupt handling, DMA transmission of M-Module. The carrier also supports the auto-adaptation and auto-configuration functions of M-Module. Within the software design, this thesis proposes standard software architecture and design reasonable functions to operate the M-Module interface and completes the design of general purpose Low-Level driver of M-Module carrier.
