4-02-2014: Pre-release of GN4124 core

A new release of the Gennum PCIe interface chip to Wishbone core has been made. The most important change is that if one addresses a non-existant location, the core will reply with 0xFFFFFFFF instead of making your system freeze.

05-01-2012: Gennum allows open publishing of modified cores

CERN has adapted for its particular applications the original GN4124 VHDL and Verilog examples from Gennum. Alan Hutton, Gennum director of Global Distribution Sales & Marketing, has given CERN the green light to publish this modified code as open source. Gennum just likes the references to Gennum be removed from the original code. Of course Gennum cannot support this modified code, but they will have their usual support and Tim Fairfield’s blog (link no longer available).
