PCI Express® version 2.0 is the latest serial protocol enabling designs for high-bandwidth communication applications. It is backed by Intel and formally adopted by multiple companies as an industry standard through PCI SIG standard body. The Virtex-5 FPGA, with its scalability and flexibility, is the ideal platform to implement this emerging protocol, and it's the first to offer the FPGA-based x8 implementation
In this webcast we review the challenges that engineers face when designing multi-gigabit interfaces and present solutions for ensuring the signal integrity required for successful system design.
In this joint Wind River-Xilinx Webinar, we give you an overview of various embedded software platforms available for developing systems with Virtex-5 FXT FPGAs, including a full fledged Embedded OS like Linux and real time OSes like VxWorks® .
This webcast will go through the factors contributing to power consumption in an FPGA design. It will explain how power is closely tied to the thermal consideration and reliability of the system. Finally, it will provide tips on how to optimize design for power consumption through changes in the FPGA environment and leveraging the FPGA features and tool options.
We will introduce the high system performance and bandwidth advantages of the innovative PowerPC 440 blocks embedded in the new Virtex-5 FXT platform FPGAs. We will show how to build customized embedded systems to unique and exacting design requirements, while lowering both system cost and power consumption.
This webcast explains how to take advantage of built-in capabilities and programmable features such as tri-mode Ethernet MACs in the Virtex-5 LXT and SXT FPGA families. We will explore how the Gigabit Ethernet Development Kit can facilitate design development.
In this webcast, attendees will learn how to implement a Virtex-5 FPGA design using the PCI Express hard end-point block and use the reference design in an application.
In this webcast, attendees will learn to identify engineering challenges in PCI Express end-point design and how to address them in Xilinx FPGAs and about PCI Express 1-8 lane applications and topologies and the benefits of using Xilinx FPGAs.
In this webcast you will see how to use the System Monitor function to obtain the best possible performance from your FPGA design and ensure reliable operation by enabling you to easily and more accurately evaluate thermal management solutions. You will also see how Virtex-5 FPGAs can take an active part in the overall system management.
