Teledyne Lecroy and IP-Maker to Show NVM Express Functionalities

IP-Maker and Teledyne Lecroy will showcase a NVM Express (NVMe) demonstration platform at Flash Memory Summit, Santa Clara, CA August 22-23.

It is based on the integration of the IP-Maker NVM Express IP core in a FPGA, and demonstrated with the Teledyne Lecroy Summit T3-8 analyzer showing its NVMe capabilities.

"We are pleased to work with IP-Maker, an innovative storage IP company, to help demonstrate its new NVMe IP core," said John Wiedemeier, product marketing manager, Teledyne Lecroy. "The Teledyne LeCroy Summit T3-8 analyzer decodes and displays the NVMe protocol traffic between the host processor and IP-Maker’s NVMe IP core running on a FPGA add-in card verifying that it adheres to the NVMe specification."

"IP-Maker achieved a new important step in its challenge to deliver high performance IP cores for storage applications," said Mickael Guyard, product marketing director, IP-Maker. "Our customers will benefit from a full development environment based on the Teledyne Lecroy Analyzer and on our IP core running on a FPGA platform."
