Getting Started with the Flash Demonstration

Before installing the software, you can run some of the demonstration designs that are pre-
installed on the BPI Flash, Platform Flash, and CompactFlash cards on the ML605 
Evaluation Board. These demonstrations provide an overview of the board features. This 
evaluation kit comes with a number of pre-installed demonstrations and examples, as well 
as additional reference designs and application notes found on the Xilinx website. The 
default demonstrations on the Platform Flash and CompactFlash exercise some of the 
board features including verifying PCI Express connectivity and testing the UART, 
Ethernet, DDR3, IIC, LEDs, and other commonly used embedded processing features.
