ML630 Board Features and Operation
This chapter describes the components, features, and operation of the ML630 Virtex®-6
HXT FPGA Optical Transmission Network (OTN) evaluation board. The ML630 board
provides the hardware environment for characterizing and evaluating the GTX and GTH
transceivers available on the Virtex -6 XC6VHX565T-2FFG1924C FPGA.
