Getting Started with the Virtex-7 FPGA 
VC707 Evaluation Kit

Introduction

This document describes how to use the materials provided in the VC707 Evaluation Kit to 
set up the VC707 board and a host computer to run two reference designs, which test and 
demonstrate some of the key features of the XC7VX485T FPGA and the VC707 board:

Built-in self test (BIST)

Analog mixed signal (AMS) card demonstration

Note:

These design summaries are for use as a quick start method for users who are familiar with 

Xilinx tools, technology, and reference designs. Additional instructions and background information 
are available from the 

VC707 Evaluation Kit website

.
