The Real-Time and Embedded Systems Group currently provides two Xilinx FPGA boards.

Virtex IV

This is an ml403 evaluation board. {| | Family | Virtex4

| Device | XC4VFX12

| Package | FF668

| Speed | -12 |}

To put a design on the board: # Generate programming file with ise. # Connect board to PC # Set SW 12 to Sys ACE and CFG Addr to 010 # Download via impact

Virtex II Pro † (RIP)

Passed away due to electrical stroke on Thursday, April 24th 2008. Our FPGA world is that much smaller today.

The setup for synthesis tools such as Xilinx ISE ? is: {| | Family | Virtex2P

| Device | XC2VP30

| Package | FF896

| Speed | -6 |} For further information on the board consult the  Board-Manual and/or  Chip-Manual.

Virtex II

The setup for synthesis tools such as Xilinx ISE is: {| | Family | Virtex2

| Device | XC2V1000

| Package | FG456

| Speed | -4 |} For further information on the board consult the  Board-Manual and/or  Chip-Manual.

Comments

• if you get strange problems, it might help to lower the absolute speed value

Spartan 3
