Platform
Overview
The Virtex-5 FPGA prototype platform and demonstration boards enable designers to
investigate and experiment with the features of Virtex-5 FPGAs. This user guide describes
the features and operation of the Virtex-5 LXT/SXT/FXT prototype platform (“the
board”), including how to configure chains of FPGAs and serial PROMs.
This user guide covers the following platforms:
• FF665, FF1136, and FF1738
Caution!
To protect the Virtex-5 board from damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD),
follow standard ESD prevention measures when handling the board.
Note: Prototype platforms are intended strictly for evaluating the functionality of Virtex-5 FPGA
features and are not intended for A/C characterization or high-speed I/O evaluation.
