Abstract

This paper introduces a firmware design of SpaceWire–PCI interface conversion. It makes good use of PCI bandwidth and can observably increase the conversion efficiency. Based on the analysis of packet format that defined in SpaceWire protocol, two processes are mainly introduced which is about packet format conversion and DMA data transfer. According to testing and comparing with the standard communication card, this design can significantly increase the maximum value of transfer rate.
