Key Features
An XMC-6VLX block diagram, found at the end of this manual, illustrates the
key features listed below.
Reconfigurable Xilinx FPGA –
In system configuration of the FPGA is
performed through flash configuration. The PCIe bus can be used to
change the flash configuration memory. This provides a means for
creating custom user defined designs. The Virtex 6 will configure from
the updated Platform flash on the next power cycle.
QDRII SRAM –
Provides 2 Meg x 72-bit QDRII SRAM. SRAM is linked to
the Virtex 6 device for PCIe bus, and DMA engine access. It can also be
linked to front, rear, and high speed data path access.
DDR3 SDRAM –
Provides 128 Meg x 64-bit DDR3 SDRAM. SDRAM is
linked to the Virtex 6 device for MicroBlaze and Ethernet access.
P15 High Speed Interface –
The Eight high speed serial lanes are
allocated to the XMC P15 connector. These lanes can be used for an 8
lane PCIe (PCI Express) implementation, Serial RapidIO, or 10 Gigabit
Ethernet. The example design will support a 4 lane Gen 1 PCIe
implementation.
P16 High Speed Interface –
The Eight high speed serial lanes are
allocated to the XMC P16 connector. These lanes can be used for Serial
RapidIO, PCIe, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, or Xilinx Aurora. The example design
will support an 8 lane Aurora loopback implementation.
Interface to Rear P4 Connector –
The Virtex 6 FPGA is directly
connected to 64 pins of the rear P4 connector. All 2.5volt IO standards
supported by the Virtex 6 device are available. The example design
code storage. The Xilinx 128 Megabit Platform Flash will contain the power
up configuration bit file for the Virtex 6 FPGA.
