The Xilinx Virtex-5 LX Evaluation Kit provides a complete development platform for designing and verifying applications based on the Xilinx Virtex-5 LX FPGA family. Available with the Virtex-5 LX50 or LX110, the kit enables designers to prototype high-performance designs with ease, while providing expandability and customization through the EXP expansion slot.

  

The Virtex-5 LX system board is available with the LX50 or LX110 device (XC5VLX50-1FF676 or XC5VLX110-1FF676).  The system board includes DDR2 SDRAM, Flash memory, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet PHY, and a serial port, making it an ideal platform for MicroBlaze development.  Other board features include a USB port, programmable LVDS clock, 10-bit TX/RX high-speed LVDS interface, user switches and LEDs, and a 2 x 16 character LCD panel.  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.
