Transmission and Reception can be done on an interrupt or polled basis. The interrupts
are individually maskable. The vector is user programmable by a read/write register.
The interrupt occurs on IntReq0.
The IP interface is 8 and 32 MHz. capable for efficient programming and data transfer.
All configuration registers support read and write operations for maximum software
convenience. Word and byte operations are supported (please refer to the memory
map).
IP-429-II conforms to the VITA standard. This guarantees compatibility with multiple IP
Carrier boards. Because the IP may be mounted on different form factors, while
maintaining plug and software compatibility, system prototyping may be done on one IP
Carrier board, with final system implementation on a different one. Dynamic
Engineering carrier boards have Drivers available for Windows® and Linux. IP-429-II is
supported with a Windows driver included with the purchase of the card. This manual
contains enough data to write your own driver should you prefer to take that approach.
Using IP-429 and a PCI3IP or PCI5IP creates a PCI-429 capability. For example using
an IP-429-4 and a PCI3IP makes a PCI slot compatible ARINC 429 solution with 8
receivers and 4 transmitters. Adding more IP’s can add more channels up to 40
receivers and 20 transmitters in the PCI slot [on a PCI5IP]. Other options are available
for PCIe, cPCI [3U and 6U] and PC104p. Coming soon VPX, cPCIe, and PCIe104
carriers.
