Xilinx Virtex-5 LX Development Kit
The Xilinx Virtex-5 LX Development 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, 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 device (XC5VLX50-1FF676). 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 2x16 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.
