ML-310 Virtex-II
Proâ„¢ development platform
Virtex-II Pro XC2VP30-based embedded platform for accelerated
system development. In addition to more than 30,000 logic
cells, over 2,400 Kb of BRAM, and dual PPC405 processors available
in the FPGA, the ML310 provides onboard Ethernet MAC/PHY, DDR
memory, multiple PCI bus slots, and standard PC I/O ports within an
ATX form factor board.
An integrated System ACEâ„¢ CF controller is
deployed to perform board bring-up and to load applications from
the included 512 MB CompactFlash card.
Complete documentation and ordering information available here.
Spartan-3â„¢ Development
Board
The Digilab Spartan-3 board is the perfect introduction to the
redefined logic landscape pioneered by the Spartan-3 Platform FPGA
family. The board gives students instant access to cutting
edge 90nm technology and complete platform capabilities of the
Spartan-3 Family.
The Digilab Spartan-3 provides for a complete, low cost
educational platform. The board includes:
- A full featured printed circuit board containing:
- Xilinx Spartan-3 200,000 gate Platform FPGA - XC3S200
- Xilinx 2Mbit PlatformFlash configuration PROM -
XCF02S
- 1M-byte of Fast Asynchronous SRAM from memory supplier
ISSI
- Full Debug Capabilities
- Daughter Card Expansion Ports
- JTAG Cable –Easily download a design to the
FPGA from a PC parallel port
- Power Supply – Universal power supply
(110-220V, 50/60Hz) provides a +5V output with on-board voltage
regulation to 3.3V, 2.5V and 1.2V.
- Leading Xilinx software available through the Xilinx University
Program
- ISE development software required for all FPGA
development
- System Generator for DSP and Spartan-3 provides for a low-cost
FPGA based DSP platform
- Embedded Developers Kit (EDK) includes the
MicroBlaze soft processor core and standard set of peripherals
- ChipScope Pro for internal FPGA probing
Board are available through Digilent Inc and Xilinx University
Program. For further information, please visit Digilent's web page
on the Spartan-3â„¢ board.
JBitsâ„¢
The JBitsâ„¢ 3.0 Software Development Kit for
Virtex-II contains class files to create Run Time Reconfigurable
applications and tools using the Virtex-II architecture from
Xilinx.
/JBits/ is an Application Program Interface (API) to the Xilinx
configuration bitstream. This API permits Java applications to
dynamically modify Xilinx Virtex-II bitstreams. The advantage of
this approach is primarily one of speed. Java programs performing
such reconfigurations can be compiled and run very quickly. /JBits/
may be used as a stand-alone tool or as a base to produce other
tools, including traditional place-and-route CAD applications as
well as more application specific tools.

Professor Workshops
If you have thought about teaching an engineering course which
utilizes Programmable Logic technology, then attending a Professors
Workshops is the best way to get started. These workshops involve
on-site presentation combined with hands-on lab exercises on the
PC. Workshops are taught mainly by industry professionals.
- Embedded Design Flow, Georgia Institute of Technology,
USA, Oct 18th & 19th
- DSP Design Flow, Georgia Institute of
Technology, USA, Oct 20th & 21st
- "Embedded Linux on MicroBlaze" - University of
Queensland, AUSTRALIA - Dec 9th
- "Embedded Linux on MicroBlaze" - University of
Queensland, AUSTRALIA - Dec 10th
The great news is that these WORKSHOPS ARE FREE!! Seats are
limited at each event and demand is typically quite high, we
recommend that you sign up as soon as possible. Workshop
presentation and instruction may be offered in local language when
appropriate and qualified instructor is available. Please see
workshop schedule for more details.
Conferences and Exhibits
XUP participates both as an exhibitor and sponsor in several trade
and academic conferences throughout the year. This year you will
find the XUP team at the following events; Stop on by and say hello!
Let us know if you or your students are presenting papers or
projects using Xilinx products. We at XUP encourage and support
your participation at Conferences. Please let us know if there is
any thing that we can provide in the way of Xilinx products to
facilitate your participation.
We are also inviting local schools to show case their work
at our booth. If, you have an interesting projects and wish to demo
it in our booth, sent an email to xup@xilinx.com indicate what
event you would like to join us at and a short description of your
demo.
The Xilinx University Resource Center
is a comprehensive online library of Xilinx related support and
teaching material tailored to universities for both professors and
students. The site provides a collection of resources already
located on the web as well as original content. In addition, a
robust online support system, consisting of a mailing list,
discussion board, and e-mail is in place and monitored to answer
any questions that you may have.
