Overview

The Memec Virtex-4™ MB Development Kit provides a complete development platform for
designing and verifying applications based on the Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA family. This kit enables
designers to implement DSP and embedded processor based applications with extreme flexibility
using IP cores and customized modules. The Virtex-4 FPGA along with Xilinx MicroBlaze soft
processor core makes it possible to prototype processor based applications, enabling software
design teams early access to a hardware platform prior to working with the final product/target
board.

The Virtex-4 MB system board utilizes the Xilinx XC4VLX25/LX60/SX35-10FF668C FPGA. The
board includes 64MB of DDR SDRAM, 4MB of Flash, 16-bit LVDS Transmit and Receive ports,
programmable LVDS clock source, USB-RS232 Bridge, a 10/100 Ethernet PHY, 100 MHz clock
source, RS-232 port, and additional user support circuitry to develop a complete system. The
board also supports the Memec P240 expansion module standard, allowing application specific
expansion modules to be easily added.
