1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to describe the functionality and contents of the Virtex-II Development Kit from Avnet Design
Services. This document includes instructions for operating the board, descriptions of the hardware features and explanations
of the example projects.
1.1 Description
The Virtex-II Development Kit provides a complete hardware environment for designers to accelerate their time to market.
The kit delivers a stable platform to develop and test designs targeted to the highly advanced Xilinx Virtex-II FPGA family.
The installed XC2V1500 device offers a 1.5M system gate prototyping environment to effectively demonstrate the enhanced
benefits of the leading edge Xilinx FPGA solution. Embedded multipliers, advanced digital clock management, built-in
impedance matching, IP immersion, and other exciting features can be implemented with advanced Xilinx design tools.
Demonstration VHDL code is included with the kit to exercise standard peripherals on the evaluation board for a quick start
to device familiarization.
