Virtex-5 LXT/SXT/FXT FPGA Prototype Platform
UG229 (v3.0.1) May 21, 2008
Overview
R
•
Onboard battery holder
•
One low-voltage, 14-pin, DIP crystal oscillator
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-5 LXT/SXT/FXT FPGA prototype platform (the board) contains a DUT FPGA,
one SPI, one BPI, and one In-System Programmable Configuration PROM (ISPROM). The
ISPROM can hold up to 33,554,432 bits. The SPI Serial Flash holds up to 64 Mb. The BPI
holds up to 256 Mb. The DUT can be configured from any one of the following:
•
ISPROM
•
SPI device
•
BPI device
•
Configuration ports (Parallel Cable III/IV cable)
In addition to the ISPROM and the configuration ports, there are
upstream
connectors and
downstream
connectors. The upstream connectors can be connected to configure the DUT
by using the System ACE configuration solution or by chaining another board. The
downstream connectors can be used to connect to another board in a chain for serial
configuration. A maximum of two boards can be chained together.
