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 Virtex®-6 FPGA ML605 Evaluation Kit is the Xilinx base platform for developing
high-performance applications for markets such as wired telecommunications,
wireless infrastructure, broadcast and many others. As a Base Level Targeted Design
Platform, this 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 Virtex-6 FPGA ML605 Evaluation
Kit provides value-added productivity gains that you can’t get from à la carte
development system assemblies. Functional infrastructure that already look 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 Virtex-6 FPGA ML605 Evaluation Kit provides a flexible environment for
higher-level system design including applications which need to implement features
such as DDR3, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express®, and other serial connectivity. The
ML605 development board includes industry-standard FMC (FPGA Mezzanine
Card) connectors 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.
