Introduction

This directory contains the Dune NvmeStorage system that provides data storage on NVMe devices as available on a Xilinx FPGA. The directory contains the FPGA VHDL source code, VHDL simulation environment, build environment and test software for the NVME test FPGA firmware as well as the nvme_test host software.

See the Readme.pdf file for more information as well as the DuneNvmeStorageManual and DuneNvmeStorageDesign documents.

NvmeSorage FPGA test example

The DuneNvme FPGA bit file for the test example can be built using the Xilinx Vivado tools.

the FPGA bit file and programming

1. cd vivado
2. make clean
3. make all
4. make program

Simulate FPGA

1. cd sim
2. Edit Makefile and testbench files for simulation required
3. make
4. make view
