• PCI Express Basic Demo:The demo includes a simple GUI-based application along with an API and device drivers for use on any Windows PC.  It enables typical PCIe card functionality in a PC, showing simple interaction between the demo running on the PC and the PCI Express IP core on the evaluation board.

• PCI Express Throughput Demo: This demo demonstrates and measures performance bandwidth between the PCI Express IP core and the LatticeECP3 SERDES, specifically measuring data rates for reads from PC memory and writes to PC memory.

• PCI Express Scatter-Gather DMA Demo #1 - Color Bar: The demo makes use of both the Lattice PCI Express and Scatter-Gather DMA IP cores.  The demo transfers an color bar gradient image from the evaluation board memory to PC memory for display, showing simple block transfers graphically through the change in colors.

• PCI Express Scatter-Gather DMA Demo #2 - Image Transfer: This demo also makes use of the Lattice PCI Express and Scatter-Gather DMA IP cores.  It shows the capability of the cores to perform large block transfers by transferring an image from the PC to the board and back to the demo application.
