The Xilinx Virtex-5 FXT Development Kit provides a complete development platform for designing and verifying applications based on the Xilinx Virtex-5 FXT FPGA family. The kit enables designers to prototype high-performance, multi-gigabit serial transceiver based designs with ease, while providing expandability and customization through the EXP expansion slot.
The Virtex-5 FXT system board is available with the FX100T device (XC5Vxxx-2FF1136). Serial gigabit transceiver interfaces (GTXs) provide connection to the on-chip PCI Express x8 hard macro, two SFP connectors, and a CX4 connector with up to 10 Gbps data throughput. The system board includes DDR2 SDRAM, 32M x 64 DDR2 SODIMM socket, Flash memory, two 10/100/1000 Ethernet PHYs, and a serial port. Other board features include a USB port, two programmable LVDS clocks, user switches, and LEDs. The board also provides a full EXP expansion slot, providing a total of 168 high-speed, single-ended and differential user I/O. EXP modules can be easily added to the board for additional application specific functions.
