SATA/SAS designs with FPGA

Hi All,

Anyone implemented SATA/SAS with FPGAs. Seems that neither rocketIO nor
MGT in stratix GX are capable of handling OOB signalling of SATA/SAS.

My question is : Which serdes did you use to work around the OOB
problem ?

scroll down and look.
SATA OOB with real SATA chip - on VP20 board no external components rocketIO
direct to SATA.
can be done.

Hi.  I'm interested in this, but the link doesn't work.  Can you post
the correct link?

Thanks,

 David

this link is working now, sorry our site was attacked by the PHP worm
vulnerability so I had to make clean reinstall of the whole server.
