Advanced Switching Interconnect 'ASI' is a Switched Fabric
bus that uses the PCI Express interface. PCIe needs to use a PCI-to-ASI bridge to be compliant with the ASI protocol.
ASI overlays the physical and link layers of PCI Express with a new transaction layer. ASI takes the Data packet and Header packet intact from PCIe and adds an additional Header.
ASI SIG; Advanced Switching Interconnect SIG [www.asi-sig.org]. In February of 2007 the ASI SIG disbanded and transferred its specifications and documentation to PICMG so that they continue to be available.
ASI Core Advanced Switching Core Architecture Specification
ASI PI-8 PCI-Express to Advanced Switching Bridge Architecture Specification
ASI SDT Advanced Switching - Socket Data Interface
ASI SQP Advanced Switching - Simple Queuing Protocol
ASI SLS Simple Load/Store (SLS) Specification
Xilinx, {ASI Endpoint core}
Note this interface may no longer be supported.
ASI Switch, PCIe to ASI bridge converters
I believe most member companies have left the ASI forum by mid 2006, so there may not be much silicon support. I read that StarGen [now Dolphin Interconnect Solutions, 2008] was the last remaining company in the Special Interest group, which disbanded in 2007.
