Hardware/FPGARack
From UIT
|
The Basic idea behind this board is to have a development FPGA board with a choice of big FPGA's and a VME compatible 2U Rack connector.
Freatures
- 2 Port Ethernet
- USB FTDI
- 2 UART
- Flash 128Mb - 512Mb
- Ram 128Mb - 256Mb
- Spartan 6 LX45 - LX100 - LX150
- 4 Leds
- 2 Buttons
- VME compatible connector 3x32Pin
- 2 Debug connectors 2x50Pin
- 2 Mezzanine Connector ARM-EBS and FPGA-EBS compatible

Whishes
- Interchangeable FPGA (FPGA on Piggy Back Board)
- FMC Connector
- USB FTDI Chip for FPGA Programming and Data Transfer
- FT232H or FT2232H
- there is a project on OpenCores which uses the FT4232H, this might give you some ideas: project page, schematic --Guo 11:45, 30 March 2012 (CEST)
- Xilinx Spartan 6 >= XC6SLX45 (45K Gates)
Concerns
- Voltage Level for ADC Connection
- High Speed Pins >= 66MHz
