The Virtex-II Development board is part of the Avalon Reference Design System™, provides a baseline development
backplane, which incorporates a high density; high I/O Virtex-II FPGA, memory functionality, basic I/O functionality, and
interface connections for development module installation. The intent is to provide a functional baseline development card
with optimal circuit functionality while providing the interface capability to allow the user to add, via the connector interfaces,
evaluation boards containing their desired/unique circuit functionality to integrate. The capability to install evaluation boards
onto the Virtex-II Development board allows FPGA integration between multiple platforms and I/O standards if desired.
The block diagram of the development board is shown in Figure 5.
