The kit contains headers that can be soldered to the breakout area, if desired. These headers
are useful with certain types of oscilloscope probes for either connecting function
generators or wiring pins to the prototype area.
The Virtex-II Pro Prototype Platform board (referred to as "the board") contains a DUT
FPGA and two in-system XC18V04 programmable SPROMs. Each SPROM can hold up to
4,194,304 bits. The DUT can be configured either from the SPROMs or from the
configuration ports (Parallel III/IV cable).
In addition to the SPROMs and the configuration ports, there is an upstream connector and
a downstream connector. The upstream connector can be connected to configure the DUT
using the System ACE configuration solution. The downstream connector can be used to
connect to another board in a chain.
The board also contains an 8-MB SDRAM chip. This chip can be used as a scratch pad or to
hold programs when testing the embedded processor functionality.
