FPGA device and cloud system based on FPGA device

Abstract:

A device including a management logic unit and a user logic unit, where the management logic unit comprises a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) module, and the PCIe module comprises a first physical functional unit and a second physical functional unit. The first physical functional unit is configured to receive a user logic loading request initiated by the second physical functional unit, where the user logic loading request carries a user logic identifier; obtain a user logic file based on the user logic identifier; and burn the user logic file into the user logic unit via a PCIe configuration channel. The present disclosure solves the technical problem that an existing FPGA cannot be deployed in the cloud due to the need for connecting to a JTAG cable when being remotely configured or debugged.
