PCI Express Based WDM Function Driver for USB Physical Validation Board

Customer: A Tier 2 Company

Requirements:  Customer had a requirement to develop a PCI Express Based WDM Function driver for USB PHY validation board

Solution Provided:
The function driver developed supported the following functionalities

• This PCI Functional driver is used for the USB PHY validation board and written with WDM model. It also support Plug-in-Play and Power Management features
• The USB PHY validation board is the PCI based board which has the FPGA and the DUT (USB PHY) to be tested
• The driver manages the complete transactions between the Host and the board including passing the test data from the Host (Windows Host) to the on-board SRAM and initiates the test operation, which is programmed inside the FPGA
• It also takes the processed information (test results and the output data) from the on- board SRAM and gives the data to the Host application for analysis

Benefits:

• Time To Market advantage helping the customer with a quicker turn around time
• Modular Design for further feature enhancements

Technology & Tools:
Target Platform:  x86 PC
RTOS/OS: Windows XP/Windows 2000
