IP Module - Anonymous Subscriber Messaging (ASM) IP Core

The New Wave DV Fibre Channel Anonymous Subscriber Messaging (FC-ASM) core provides a complete hardware IP solution for the FC-ASM protocol.

The core provides full FC compliance, hardware-based message label filtering, hardware mapping of message label to host memory, and complete offload of ASM handling including: Transmit messages, Receive messages, CSU frames, DMA controller, frame building/checking, and CRC generation/checking.

The core comes with test-benches and example code, making design integration a straightforward task.

Key Features:

• FC-ASM compliant interface with hardware based offload
• Hardware DMA engines with message label mapped buffers
• Receive and transmit functions offloaded in hardware
• Supports 1/2/4/8/16G data rates
• Configurable number of ports in a single FPGA
• AXI-based host interface for embedded or PCIe based processors

Supported Devices:

• SmartFusion2
