SATA

The four Serial ATA (SATA) ports are available on the FPGA development board which are computer bus standard with a primary function of transferring data between the motherboard and mass storage devices (such as hard drives, optical drives, and solid-state disks). Supporting a storage interface is just one of many different applications for which an FPGA can be used in storage appliances. The Arria 10 SoC device can bridge different protocols such as bridging simple bus I/Os like PCI Express (PCIe) to SATA or network interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) to SATA.
The SATA interface supports SATA 3.0 standard with connection speed of 6 Gbps based on Arria 10 SoC device with integrated transceivers compliant to SATA electrical standards. The two Serial ATA (SATA) ports include one available port for device and one available port for host capable of implementing SATA solution with a design that consists of both host and target (device side) functions.Figure 4-1 shows the connections between the SATA and Arria 10 SoC FPGA. Table 4-1 list the SATA pin assignments and signal names relative to the Arria 10 SoC FPGA.

PCIe

The DE10-Advanced development board features one PCIe Express downstream interfaces (x4 lane) which are designed to interface with a PC motherboard x4 slot via PCIe cable and PCIe adapter card. Utilizing built-in transceivers on a Arria 10 SoC device, it is able to provide a fully integrated PCI Express compliant solution for multi-lane (x4) applications. With the PCI Express hard IP block incorporated in the Arria 10 SoC device, it will allow users to implement simple and fast protocols, as well as saving logic resources for logic applications.

The PCI Express interface supports complete PCI Express Gen1 at 2.5Gbps/lane, Gen2 at 5.0Gbps/lane, and Gen3 at 8.0Gbps/lane protocol stack solution compliant to PCI Express base specification 3.0 that includes PHY-MAC, Data Link, and transaction layer circuitry embedded in PCI Express hard IP blocks.

To use PCIe interface, two external associated devices will be needed to establish a link with PC. First, a PCIe half-height add-in host card with a PCIe x4 cable connector called PCA (PCIe Cabling Adapter Card and see picture below)will be used to plug into the PCIe slot on a mother board.

Then,a PCIe x4 cable(See picture below) will be used to connect DE10-Advanced board and PCIe add-in card, the longest length is up to 3 meters.

PCI Express Pin Connection is showed below.
