FPGA Configurations 

Following are the Xilinx Virtex−6 FPGA options for the Model 71661 XMC module:

Option 061 FPGA is a Xilinx XC6VLX130T

Option 062 is XC6VLX240T

Option 063 is XC6VLX365T

Option 064 is XC6VSX315T

Option 065 is XC6VSX475T 

The 71661 is shipped with a default set of logic functions for the FPGA, on FLASH 
memory. The 71661 loads the FPGA configuration from FLASH memory at power−up. 
Up to four FPGA configurations can be stored in FLASH, identified as Version 0, Ver−
sion 1, Version 2, and Version 3. Versions 0 and 1 are the Pentek−supplied default boot 
configuration (0 is the Gen 1 x4 PCIe code, 1 is the Gen 2 x4 PCIe code) and Versions 2 
and 3 are reserved for user−defined configurations.
