SPARTAN-6 FPGA SP601 EVALUATION KIT ENTRY-LEVEL, LOW-COST FPGA DESIGN PLATFORM SPARTAN-6 FPGA SP601 EVALUATION KIT Accelerated Development Accelerate your Designs – Right Out of the Box • Fewer resources under tighter deadlines, new standards, and shifting requirements make for a challenging design environment The Spartan®-6 FPGA SP601 Evaluation Kit is an ideal entry-level development environment for evaluating the Spartan-6 family. This low-cost kit is the Xilinx Base Platform for developing consumer, infotainment, video, and other cost- and powersensitive applications. As a Base Level Targeted Design Platform, the new kit provides an integration of hardware, software, IP, and preverified reference designs so development can begin right out of the box. • Market expectations for higher performance and more intelligent features require new approaches to developing electronic systems • Today’s systems call for advanced memories, connectivity, digital signal, and embedded processing, all working together Simpler and Smarter Methodologies • Xilinx Targeted Design Platforms enable software and hardware designers alike to leverage open standards, common design methodologies, development tools, and run-time platforms • Design teams can spend less time developing the infrastructure of an application and more time building differentiating features into the end application • Targeted Design Platforms from Xilinx and its network of third parties provide system designers with simpler and smarter methodologies for creating FPGA-based system-on-chip solutions Value-added Productivity With everything you need in one package, the Spartan-6 FPGA SP601 Evaluation Kit provides value-added productivity gains that you can’t get from à la carte development system assemblies. Functional infrastructure that already looks like your basic architecture makes you more productive as you ramp up a new design, enabling quicker time-to-innovation for differentiating your products versus your competition. Multiple design examples provide insight and a kick-start on how to implement system IP to optimize your unique application. Integrated, Easy-to-Use Solutions The Spartan-6 FPGA SP601 Evaluation Kit provides a flexible environment for higher-level system design including applications which need to implement features such as Ethernet or DDR2. The SP601 development board includes an industrystandard FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) connector for scaling and customization to specific applications and markets. The integration of Xilinx development tools help streamline the creation of systems that adhere to complex requirements.
