| Base System Builder & Reference Design Material | ||
| The Xilinx Base System Builder (BSB) wizard helps users quickly build a working embedded processing system design through an easy to use GUI interface. The XPS project created by BSB can be run as generated or further enhanced with peripherals added from the Embedded Development Kit (EDK) IP catalog. | Master UCF Pin Constraints | |

| Configuration Methods | ||
| The board may be used to demonstrate a variety of Virtex®-5 configuration methods. Initial board bring-up and testing can be accomplished with the Xilinx tools, a JTAG cable, along with the bitstreams and ELF files from the reference designs. Subsequently, ACE files containing both hardware and software initialization components can be generated and loaded from a CompactFlash card by the onboard System ACE™ CF controller. A new Virtex-5 configuration method loads bitstreams directly from a linear flash memory device. Demonstrating the various Virtex-5 configuration methods is user-selectable through a DIP switch. | Flash Images (ZIP) CPLD Programming File (ZIP) CPLD Design Files (ZIP) IDT5V9885 Clock Setup File ZIP) USB EEPROM Programming File (ZIP) |
