Abstract
According to implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is proposed a solution for supporting communications for an FPGA device. In an implementation, the FPGA device includes an application module and protocol stack modules. The protocol stack modules are operable to access target devices based on different communication protocols via a physical interface. The FPGA device further includes a universal access module operable to receive, from the application module, first data and a first identity of a first target device, the first target device acting as a destination of the first data, and transmit, based on the first identity and predetermined first routing information, the first data to a first protocol stack module accessible to the first target device via the physical interface. By introducing the universal access module, it is possible to provide unified and direct communications for the application module.
