Table 3. PCI Compiler Parameterization Flow Selection Guidelines
You would like to quickly integrate
multiple system blocks.
You are creating a new PCI design.
You have limited PCI bus protocol
experience.
Dramatically faster time-to-market
Requires minimal PCI bus protocol design expertise
Very short learning curve
Access to rich feature set
Uses simple and flexible GUI to create complete PCI system within
hours
Predesigned ‘back end’ and ‘local side’ interconnect
Uses an automatically-generated simulation environment
Create custom components and integrate them by using the
component wizard
All components are automatically interconnected
Does not allow you to customize PCI transaction behavior
Some applications may have excessive overhead in size and
performance
