PCI High Speed Device Interface (GPIO-HSD)

Real Time ⇒ Options ⇒ PCI High Interface (GPIO-HSD)

COMPRO's GPIO-HSD interface provides customers with 100% proven High Speed Device (HSD) functionality and compatibility.  The GPIO-HSD offers a PCI bus controller emulation of the legacy COMPRO HSD II SelBUS board.

 

Software Support:

 

• Linux

 

Application (HSD = High Speed Data interface)

 

• Drive HSD peripherals from a PCI bus host CPU
• Data link between a PCI host and COMPRO host
• Test existing HSD-compatible devices with a PC or other PCI bus host

 

Benefits:

 

100% GUARANTEED COMPATIBILITY - Compro's GPIO-HSD is the only available product, designed by the HSD original equipment manufacturer, that guarantees full compatibility with legacy HSD controllers

SAVE ON HOST OVERHEAD - The GPIO-HSD has all HSD functions resident in onboard firmware, reducing compute load on the host processor

SAVE MONEY - Continue using your existing HSD-based I/O subsystems without any changes

REDUCES INSTALLATION TIME - Simple to install and easy to use software

DECREASES REPAIR AND TESTING - Fast, economical verification of existing HSD I/O links

 

Product Features:

 

• • Emulation of the following HSD modes:
    • Device Mode
    • IBL Mode
