DMA DMA Cards
A DMA (Direct Memory Access) card is a PCIe card for two-PC setups. It sits in your main PC and connects to a second PC over a fast USB-C link, giving that second PC direct hardware access over PCIe.
Our DMA boards ship with emulated firmware already installed and one 2-in-1 USB-C port for data and JTAG, so updates never mean re-flashing by hand. The Hieno range covers M.2 NVMe slots (Hieno 1.2) and advanced setups (Hieno 2.0).
- Emulated firmware, pre-installed
- USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 — FT601 bridge, up to 200 MB/s
- Windows 10 / 11, Intel and AMD
- Hieno 1.2 for a free M.2 NVMe slot
