How Jungo helps SP devices in delivering robust products faster

WinDriver from Jungo was chosen by SP Devices as its PCI Express driver development toolkit for two main reasons:

It is a rapid development tool, capable of maximizing hardware throughput while maintaining user-level simplicity. Samples for the Virtex 5 FPGA are provided, reducing development time even further.

Interfacing with the ADQ line's controlling application, ADCCapture Lab, was immediate and freed up valuable resources needed elsewhere.

"It took me about ten minutes to communicate with our new Xilinx FPGA-based device," says Peter Johansson, software engineer at SP Devices. "DMA functionally was a straight-forward process, due to Jungo's helpful manual and its user level API's."

"We also used WinDriver's unique kernel plug-in feature, enabling us to take both a user-level approach and a kernel-level one for handling interrupts. That helped us meet our latency demands, a mandatory requirement by many real-time applications".
