Virtex5 ml505 boards support #25

Open skoroneos opened 6 years ago

skoroneos commented 6 years ago

Greetings.

Although it states clear at the documentation that for Virtex5 boards we should uses the Riffa 1.0 would it be possible to add support for ML505 boards (virtex5) for Riffa 2?

I recently got a number of Ml505 boards and i was thinking of using them as crypto acceleration co-processesors and Riffa sounds ideal.

I don't have much experience with the pci-e cores between the different xilinx generations so i was wondering what might the hold back be and whether i should try it. In the past i have worked with this board

https://opencores.org/project,spartan6_pcie

and have written some libraries to communicate over the pci(e) bus but was far from perfect.
