Merits of NVMeG4 IP with PCIe Gen4 Soft IP

NVMeG4 IP with PCIe Gen4 Soft IP enable the NVMe SSD interface for non-embedded PCIe Gen4 Hard IP Devices. Break the barriers of NVMe interface, Allow to build multi-channel RAID system with very high performance and lowest possible FPGA resources consumption. Watch NVMeG4 IP on ZCU102 Demo on YouTube

Leveraging UltraScale+ transceiver, Enabling NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD support for non-PCIe Gen4 Hard IP Devices

Enabling Virtex UltraScale+ (VCU118) to connect and access NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD(s) with 2X performance over single NVMe PCIe Gen3 SSD. Ideally ultra high speed storage with compact form factor systems. It is suitable for Zynq UltraScale+ RF SoC which does not have PCIe Gen4 Hard IP block to capture real-time RF data recording.

Small Resource Consumption

Dedicatedly designed and optimized for Standalone NVMe PCIe Gen4 Host Controller. The resource consumption increase just only 30% while achieving 200% performance increase over PCIe Gen3 systems.

Multi-channel NVMe RAID System

NVMe IP with PCIe Soft IP does not have the limitation depend on the number of PCIe Hard IPs built in the FPGA device. It is possible to build multi-channel RAID system which maximize the number of transceivers available on FPGA device.
