FPGA-based embedded development platform

4 February 2009 Design Automation

Xilinx has developed the 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 IBM Power PC 440 processors and supported by Linux and VxWorks operating systems, the new development platform provides software and hardware design teams with flexibility and computational capacity.

Coupled with a range of reference designs and the Xilinx embedded development kit (EDK) of award-winning development tools, configuration wizards and IP, the ML510 platform provides a comprehensive design environment for building systems that use two processors for performing dedicated distributed functions.

In addition to the dual processor cores, the board’s FX130T FPGA provides more than 130 000 logic cells, over 10 700 Kb of block RAM and RocketIO GTX serial transceivers that operate at up to 6,5 Gbps. Xilinx offers the ML510 in an ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) form factor that can be readily expanded using the daughter card expansion card interface. An ATX rack is available for purchase that can be used in conjunction with the ML510 development platform for rack mounted systems for efficient packaging and deployment.
