Introduction VMETRO New Generation FPGA Products VMETRO has nearly a decade of experience creating leading edge commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) FPGA products for embedded processing applications. The expertise garnered from supporting each previous FPGA generation is brought to a new family of products based on the flagship field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Xilinx : the Virtex -5 platform. The VMETRO product range provides developers with analog input and output, high speed digital data transport and high performance processing solutions. Virtex-5 FPGAs offer higher density, lower cost per gate and better performance, in more capable devices, than previous generations of FPGA. The enhancements over previous generations give developers the ability to create more effective algorithms, to solve the most demanding real-world problems. The Virtex-5 family of devices offers four new platforms, each with a different balance of high-performance logic, serial connectivity, signal processing and embedded processing suitable for different application areas: Virtex-5 LX: High performance general logic applications Virtex-5 LXT: High performance logic with advanced serial connectivity Virtex-5 SXT: Signal processing applications with advanced serial connectivity Virtex-5 FXT: Embedded systems with advanced serial connectivity Virtex-5 LX Logic Applications Virtex-5 LX FPGAs are optimized for high performance logic and provide a range of resources and embedded hard IP to facilitate the development of system solutions for the most demanding applications.

From Development to Deployment VMETRO offers system developers the ability to rapidly take advantage of Virtex-5 FPGA performance with a low cost development board in a short PCI card format that can be installed in any standard PC. The card is supplied with a complete software development bundle for the Windows XP operating system that includes: VHDL library code blocks (demonstrating how board resources can be used) Windows XP drivers C support libraries API Example code (demonstrating integration of VHDL blocks & library code) programming and board debug utilities Hardware and software manuals Developers can also rapidly deploy a range of PMC based solutions encompassing application areas that require high speed analog input and output, imaging, parallel digital I/O or completely customized I/O. The product range is based around a common processing node architecture utilizing a Virtex-5 XC5VLX110. The node is equipped with independent banks of fast external memory to support signal processing algorithms: 3 banks of QDR-II SRAM and two banks of DDR2 SDRAM for bulk data storage/buffering. The 256 Mbit Flash memory is large enough to store 3 or more FPGA configuration files. The standard node is also equipped with a 133 MHz PCI-X interface (providing up to 1067 Mbytes/s bandwidth) and 64-bits of user determined rear I/O using Virtex- 5 SelectIO pins laid out as 32 length-matched differential pairs. This node commonality means that development work for applications using one member of the board family can be easily transferred to other applications using different signal sources.

Application Development Tools All of VMETRO s Virtex-5 FPGA products are supported by an extensive package of software libraries, firmware and utilities that aid developers in rapidly exploiting the power of the Virtex-5 family in their applications. Detailed documentation for all hardware, firmware and software features is included with the board support package. Microsoft Windows XP is the first operating system supported, with WindRiver VxWorks and Linux to follow. Utilities To aid application development and debugging, there is a suite of utilities that provide users with tools to: Allow Virtex-5 FPGA configurations be written to and read from the board flash Allow the FPGA to be rapidly reconfigured from a host or flash file Allow registers (including user instantiated registers) and board memory to be visible to a GUI (BView) Drivers Initial operating system support is for Windows XP and then VxWorks. The driver permits host applications to reconfigure the Virtex-5 FPGA and provides atomic read/write/modify access to application registers. Read/write access to the flash and read access to I²C sensor registers is also supported. Versatile interrupt handling, high-performance multi-channel DMA data transfers and built-in test (BIT) are supported. A driver extension framework allows developers to extend the core driver with their own services. Board register configuration and viewer tool: BView Application Programming Interface An API provides programmers with access to the board hardware/ firmware modules through extensive task/thread safe C libraries. They allow developers to quickly take advantage of powerful board features in their applications, including the PCI-X interface DMA engines and interrupt handlers. Numerous examples accompany the BSP which demonstrate the correct use of each major area of API functionality, allowing programmers to hit the ground running when using library functionality in real-world applications. Built-in test (BIT) tools are also provided allowing the developer or their application to ascertain the operational condition of the board s hardware features. 6 Virtex-5 Products

Firmware All interfaces between the Virtex-5 FPGA and external devices are supported by firmware which is supplied as IP to users. Each IP block has standardized back end interfaces, allowing developers to quickly integrate their own custom logic (for example, signal processing algorithms) or commercial third party IP to the hardware interfaces of the board (for example the external memory interfaces or an I/O mechanism). The firmware also provides a start point for developers to create customized hardware operation. Toolchain Support The firmware supplied in the BSP is created using the latest version of Xilinx Foundation. Stages of development with the Xilinx Foundation Toolchain Virtex-5 Products 7
