What widely available board can I get for this? #23

Closed Zerithious closed 6 years ago

Zerithious commented 7 years ago

What is the cheapest and/or most widely available board I can buy to make a POC for this? I looked at USB3380-EVB from bplus but they are very unresponsive and the handling times and shipping will be too long for me..

I'm sorry, but there isn't a supplier that I'm aware of that have any boards available now that BPlus sold out (at least at this moment). I'd say your best bet is unfortunately to wait for BPlus to restock (if they do that) or purchase a used board from someone.

PCILeech support might expand to more hardware in the future, I have some PoC code for @d_olex yet unreleased FPGA project already in PCILeech, but it's slow at the moment; and his code isn't released publicly yet.

Also, there are some other people looking into creating boards that will support PCILeech, but it's hard for me to know when/if such projects would materialize into a finished product.

I'm sorry, I know it's not the answer you wished for, but it's unfortunately how things are at the moment.

Do you think the following can work:

If I get a PCIE Firewire card like this one and connect my laptop through firewire, do you think It is possible to somehow patch the code to make it send the DMA commands from my laptop through the firewire and everything will work as expected?

Firewire DMA is blocked by quite a few OS'es nowdays though; but please have a look at inception if you haven't already done it.

I've looked into possibly supporting Firewire on PCILeech as well, but if I understand it correctly it would require some kind of kernel driver on the attacking computer - which makes it overly complicated for me to add support.

Update: Please see my additions about the SP605 FPGA dev board and together with the FT601 USB3 addon board.

It's expensive, it's bulky, but it's more capable than the USB3380 and it's available.
