Supported Xilinx FPGA/CPLDs: Virtex-6 LXT

The Xilinx® Virtex®-6 FPGA ML605 Evaluation Kit provides a development environment for system designs that demand high performance, serial connectivity and advanced memory interfacing. As a Xilinx Base Targeted Design Platform, the kit provides all the hardware, software, IP and targeted reference designs needed to design right out of the box

The ML605 Evaluation Kit simplifies development of systems-on-chip (SoC) for wired telecommunications, wireless infrastructure, broadcast, and other high performance applications. Integrated tool suites streamline creation of elegant solutions to complex design requirements. Multiple pre-verified targeted reference designs jumpstart development. Industrystandard FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) base boards and daughter card extensions provide plug-in scaling and customization.

The ML605 Evaluation Kit with Virtex-6 LX240T FPGA enables 50 percent lower power and 20 percent lower cost designs than previous generations. System-level capabilities include built-in high-speed serial transceivers, PCI Express® 2.0 Endpoint blocks, and DDR3 memory control to name just a few.

The kit is also supported by mainstream industry standard peripherals, such as PCI Express x8 edge connector (version 1.1 and 2.0), Tri-mode Ethernet, DDR-3 SO-DIMM, BPI linear flash, USB 2.0 (host and device), DVI output, SFP, LCD character display, GTX port (TX, RX) with four SMA connectors and two VITA-57 compliant FMC connectors.
