Hi Guys,
I have a PXIe system, currently running in RT. Now, there is a requirement for the PXIe system to have up to graphic output to control some instruments. I came across these cPCI cards:
1. http://ekf.de/s/sv1/sv1.html
2. http://ekf.de/c/cgxa/cv2/cv2.html
Based from my understanding, SV1 is a card that acts as a garphic card for the system as you can insert an AMD card somewhere on the card. CV2 card, on the other hand, is just as an extended display output. I've emailed the OEM, and their feedback are as follows:
"For CV2, VGA resources have to be released by the BIOS, we have the experience already that NI CPU boards are not able to release resources for our VGA board. Anyway, our hardware contains standard Intel hardware same as a PC. And we have customers, using cPCI serial http://ekf.de/s/sc1/sc1.html with a hybrid backplane for a PXIe DSP board and mixing with cPCI serial peripheral boards. This would be the right Graphics board: http://ekf.de/s/sv1/sv1.html"
So, I'm not sure whether it can be used or not. If it is possible to use one of these two cards with a NI PXIe system, I'm also planning to convert my RT system to Hypervisor. The Windows portion is specifically meant to handle these cards while the rest of the program and processing resource still maintain in the RT system. Will this work?
I'm attaching the datasheets for these two cards, for your reference. Any advice or feedback?
