Virtex-5 FXT ML510 Embedded Development Platform

Xilinx announced its Virtex-5 FXT FPGA ML510 Embedded Development Platform for developing high-performance embedded systems driven by dual processors. Built around the Virtex-5 FXT FPGA platform with its two integrated Power PC® 440 processors and supported by Linux and VxWorks operating systems, the new development platform provides software and hardware design teams with unprecedented levels of flexibility and computational capacity.

The ML510 Embedded Development Platform includes a complete range of peripheral, interface and software support. In addition to the dual IBM Power PC 440 processor cores, the board’s Virtex-5 FX130T device provides more than 130,000 logic cells, over 10,700 kb of block RAM and RocketIO™ GTX serial transceivers that operate at up to 6.5Gb/sec. Also, many board level cabling interfaces are predefined, allowing rapid development and verification so that system manufacturers can quickly deploy systems to the field.
