For the third running period of the CERN LHC, the ALICE experiment will use a Common Readout Unit (CRU) at the heart of the data acquisition system. The CRU, based on the PCIe40 hardware designed for LHCb, is a common interface between the front-end, the computing system, and the trigger and timing system. The 475 CRUs will interface 10 different sub-detectors with 3 sub-systems and reduce the total data throughput from 3.5 TB/s to 635 GB/s. The ALICE common firmware framework is under development. It supports data taking in continuous and triggered mode, clock, trigger and slow control delivery. In this paper, the architecture and results are presented.
