R&D centers around the world are untethered to the real-world implications of their ideas without making use of FPGA. Advanced hardware demands advanced drivers, but creating them can be time-consuming without deep kernel expertise. Jungo WinDriver abstracts low-level complexity, allowing developers to focus on core functionality rather than intricate hardware communication
High-Speed FPGA PCIe Communication with Direct Memory Access (DMA)
High-speed data transfer is a critical component of FPGA PCIe development. Projects like these involve a multitude of complex computations and oftentimes real-time processing, so without efficient data transfer, optimal performance becomes impossible. Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a great way of ensuring that data can flow directly between the FPGA and host system’s memory without CPU involvement. This reduces latency and improves overall throughput. Jungo WinDriver includes ready-made, fully functional samples for DMA implementations, such as:
- Xilinx XDMA
- Xilinx QDMA
- Lattice SGDMA
- Lattice CertusPro-NX
- Lattice Avant
- Altera Avalon-MM Interface
- Altera mSGDMA
These samples afford developers the opportunity to quickly integrate DMA into their FPGA projects, significantly reducing development time.
These fully functional DMA samples can serve as a complete driver solution or as skeletal code for custom development. This flexibility is invaluable for developers who need to implement custom DMA solutions for specific applications. Furthermore, these ready-made solutions provides a powerful debugging tool, enabling developers to analyze and optimize data transfer between FPGA accelerators and host systems.
By leveraging these tested DMA implementations, WinDriver helps developers achieve low-latency, high-throughput data transfer between the host and the FPGA. This is essential for performance-intensive applications, such as those used in machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-frequency trading, where processing speed is critical.
AMD FPGA Device Families
Use the dropdown below to browse popular AMD (formerly Xilinx) FPGA device families, including supported interfaces, Vivado IP user guides, and examples where WinDriver integrates with AMD’s IP. Xilinx devices cover a wide range of applications, so this isn’t a complete catalog—WinDriver can be tailored for additional families. Note that all PCIe-only AMD IP cores (without DMA engines) are compatible with WinDriver and don’t need dedicated sample code.

Intel FPGA Device Families
Use the dropdown below to review supported Intel FPGA device families, with details on PCIe generations, Intel IP user guides, and sample designs validated with WinDriver. Intel’s portfolio is broad, so the list here highlights only the most common devices—WinDriver can be extended to support others as needed. Keep in mind that any PCIe-only Intel IP (without DMA) is already supported by WinDriver without requiring a separate sample.

Lattice FPGA Device Families
Use the dropdown below to see supported Lattice FPGA device families, with information on lightweight interfaces, Lattice IP documentation, and available WinDriver integration samples. The list focuses on commonly used devices, but WinDriver can be adapted to other Lattice families where needed. Remember, every PCIe-only Lattice IP (without DMA functionality) is supported by WinDriver automatically and does not require a special sample.
