Research And Implementation Of SCI Parallel Communication Based On FPGA

The present thesis is on a further extension of the subtask of the 863 National Projects in Military Industry: communication card in airplane control, which is conducted by Computer Science Department of Xiamen University and National Major Laboratory in Intelligent Technology and System of Tsinghua University.SCI (Scalable Coherent Interface) is an interface standard for very high performance multiprocessor systems that supports a coherent shared-memory model. SCI's low pin count and simple ring implementation make it cost-effective for small systems as well as for the massively parallel ones.The present thesis focuses on analyzing and researching the SCI communication node. We design a basic SCI serial communication node with FPGA, and after simulation, we prove that this design is feasible, and it's useful for our further research.Besides, this thesis analyzes the WDM driver and NDIS network driver, describes the background and the architecture of these two drivers, and introduces the implementation of every driver's modules in detail.At the end of this thesis, we develop a software to test the hardware, and analyze the test result. Finally point out the limitations of our design, and propose the improvement in the future.
