Xilinix brings out the Virtex-5 platform

Xilinx has introduced its Virtex-5 FXT FPGA ML510 Embedded Development Platform for developing embedded systems driven by dual processors.

The development platform is built around the Virtex-5 FXT FPGA platform with its two integrated Power PC 440 processors.

It is supported by Linux and VxWorks operating systems, providing software and hardware designers with flexibility and a large capacity.

The ML510 Embedded Development Platform is coupled with a range of reference designs and the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK) of development tools and configuration wizards.

The platform includes a range of peripheral, interface and software support, including support for industry standard Linux and VxWorks operating systems.

The board's Virtex-5 FX130T device provides more than 130,000 logic cells, more than 10,700 kb of block RAM and RocketIO GTX serial transceivers that operate at up to 6.5Gb/sec.

Many board level cabling interfaces are predefined, allowing rapid development and verification so that system manufacturers can quickly deploy systems to the field.

Xilinx offers the ML510 in an ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) form factor that can be readily expanded using the convenient daughter card expansion card interface.

An ATX rack can be used in conjunction with the ML510 development platform for rack mounted systems.
