ML401/ML402/ML403 Evaluation Platform
Introduction
The ML401/ML402/ML403 evaluation platform enables designers to investigate and
experiment with features of the Virtex™-4 family of FPGAs. This user guide describes
features and operation of the ML401, ML402, and ML403 (ML40
x
) evaluation platforms.
