O™ design in today’s hectic world of time to market
schedules and rapid deadlines, the PLX
®
PCI 9080RDK-960
and PCI 9080RDK-401 Reference Design Kits provide a
complete development environment for the engineer or pro-
ject manager. The kits include a PCI 2.1 compliant board based
on the powerful PLX PCI 9080 I
2
O Compatible PCI Bus Master I/O
Accelerator Chip with the choice of an Intel
®
i960

or IBM
®
PowerPC
®
401
processor as the local CPU.
To ensure your adapter card or embedded system design is simple and
painless, and done right the first time, each kit includes a set of software devel-
opment tools in the form of the PLX PCI SDK. The PCI SDK features a complete
set of tools for software programming including: PLXMon™ 97, a comprehen-
sive tool for PCI bus monitoring and debugging, flexible programming API
libraries for Windows
®
NT™ and Windows 95
®
and the local CPU, sample
Windows NT and Windows 95 device drivers, a firmware debugging monitor
with loader, and associated user’s manuals.
