The Virtex-5 family provides the newest most powerful features in the FPGA market. Using the second generation ASMBL (Advanced Silicon Modular Block) column-based architecture, the Virtex-5 family contains five distinct platforms (sub-families), the most choice offered by any FPGA family. Each platform contains a different ratio of features to address the needs of a wide variety of advanced logic designs. In addition to the most advanced, high-performance logic fabric, Virtex-5 FPGAs contain many hard-IP system level blocks, including powerful 36-Kbit block RAM/FIFOs, second generation 25 x 18 DSP slices, SelectIO technology with built-in digitallycontrolled impedance, ChipSync source-synchronous interface blocks, system monitor functionality, enhanced clock management tiles with integrated DCM (Digital Clock Managers) and phase-locked-loop (PLL) clock generators, and advanced configuration options.
Additional platform dependant features include power-optimized high-speed serial transceiver blocks for enhanced serial connectivity,
PCI Express compliant integrated Endpoint blocks, tri-mode Ethernet MACs (Media Access Controllers), and high-performance PowerPC 440 microprocessor embedded blocks. These features allow advanced logic designers to build the highest levels of performance and functionality into their FPGA-based systems. Built on a 65-nm state-of-the-art copper process technology, Virtex-5 FPGAs are a programmable alternative to custom ASIC technology. Most advanced system designs require the programmable strength of FPGAs. Virtex-5 FPGAs offer the best solution for addressing the needs of high-performance logic designers, high-performance DSP designers, and high-performance embedded systems designers with unprecedented logic, DSP, hard/soft microprocessor, and connectivity capabilities. The Virtex-5 LXT, SXT, TXT, and FXT platforms include advanced high-speed serial connectivity and link/transaction layer capability.

ML510嵌入式开发平台
ML510 Embedded Development Platform
The ML510 series of Embedded Development Platforms offer designers a versatile Virtex-5 FXT platform for rapid prototyping and system verification. In addition to the more than 130,000 logic cells, over 10,700 kb of block RAM, dual IBM PowerPC 440(PPC440) processors, and RocketIO transceivers available in the FPGA, the ML510 provides an onboard Ethernet MAC PHY, DDR2 memory, multiple PCI bus slots, and standard front panel interface ports within an ATX form factor motherboard. An integrated System ACE CompactFlash (CF) controller is deployed to perform board bring-up and to load applications from the CompactFlash card.
The setup and quickstart documentation highlights the functionality of the ML510, using the applications contained on the CompactFlash card. The reference designs were produced using the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK), ISE, and Answer Browser solution records. Tutorials, in coordination with Xilinx documentation for EDK, ISE, and the Answer Browser, describe how the reference designs and applications were produced. These tutorials can be used to re-create the provided applications and also as a basis for the development of new designs. Xilinx EDK provides for the development of basic board-specific systems, beginning with Base System Builder (BSB), to highly customized systems that leverage the flexibility of Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS) and the EDK intellectual property (IP).
