Virtex-4 ML461 Memory Interfaces Development Board User Guide

The Virtex-4 ML461 Memory Interfaces Tool Kit provides a complete development platform to interface with external memory devices for designing and verifying applications based on the Virtex-4 LX FPGA family. This kit allows designers to implement high-speed applications with extreme flexibility using IP cores and customized modules. The Virtex-4 LX FPGA, with its column-based architecture, makes it possible to develop highly flexible memory interface applications. 

The Virtex-4 ML461 Memory Interfaces Tool Kit includes the following: 
• Virtex-4 ML461 Memory Interfaces Development Board (XC4VLX25-FF668 FPGA) 
• 5V/6.5 A DC power supply 
• Country-specific power supply line cord 
• RS-232 serial cable, DB9-F to DB9-F 
• Documentation and reference design CD-ROM
 
Optional items that also support development efforts include: 
• Xilinx ISE™ software 
• JTAG cable 
• Xilinx Parallel Cable IV 

FCRAM-II memory is not supported any longer on the ML461 board.

The heart of the Virtex-4 ML461 Memory Interfaces Tool Kit is the Virtex-4 ML461 Development Board. This manual provides comprehensive information on Rev B1 and later revisions of this board.
