MLE NVMe FPGA Full System Stack for AMD Versal AI Edge TB20241108 Introduction When it comes to high-speed data recording, NVMe Streamer or similar NVMe IP cores are typically required to enable efficient data streaming from FPGAs to NVMe SSDs, as the onboard processors of FPGA boards are often not powerful enough. However, implementing NVMe IP cores presents challenges, particularly in handling file systems, where data read/write paths must be defined and data management gets complicated if multiple storage patterns are required. To address these needs, MLE has developed the NVMe FPGA Full System Stack for AMD Versal AI Edge FPGAs and verified the NVMe FPGA Full System Stack on Trenz TE0950 dev board. The NVMe Full System Stack enables seamless data streaming between the ARM cores on AMD Versal Edge FPGAs and NVMe SSDs via the PS PCIe Root Port. Key benefits of the AMD Versal AI Edge NVMe FPGA Full System Stack include: Support for data rates from 1 GiB/s to 5.4 GiB/s (equal to 1 GB/s to 5.8 GB/s) Support dynamic, complex file system Support complex storage patterns, enabling multiple applications to access data through a block device MLE NVMe FPGA Full System Stack MLE’s NVMe FPGA Full System Stack facilitates connectivity between the ARM Processing System on AMD
