Virtex-4 User Guides

This guide describes the Embedded Tri-Mode Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) available in the Virtex®-4 FX family.

The Virtex®-4 FPGA User Guide includes chapters on Clocking Resources, Digital Clock Manager (DCM), Phase-Matched Clock Dividers (PMCD), Block RAM and FIFO memory, Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), SelectIO™ resources, and SelectIO logic resources.

This guide describes Virtex®-4 device pinouts and package specifications; it also includes pinout diagrams and thermal data.

The guide describes the XtremeDSP™ slice and includes reference designs for using the DSP48 math functions and various FIR filters.

This all-encompassing configuration guide includes chapters on configuration interfaces (serial and SelectMAP), bit-stream encryption, Boundary-Scan and JTAG configuration, and reconfiguration techniques.

The Virtex™-4 RocketIO™ Multi-Gigabit Transceiver User Guide provides the product designer with the detailed technical information needed to successfully implement the RocketIO MGT in Virtex-4 designs.

The Virtex™-4 RocketIO Bit Error Rate Tester (XBERT) Reference Design for the ML42x development platforms demonstrates a serial link between two or more Virtex-4 RocketIO Multi-Gigabit Transceiver (MGT) ports embedded within a single Virtex-4 FPGA. This user guide provides instructions to set up and operate the XBERT reference design on the ML421, ML423, ML424 and ML425 platforms.

This document provides an introduction as well as operational concepts, user programming model, PPC405 privileged-mode programming model, memory-system management, and virtual-memory management.

This guide serves as a technical reference describing the hardware interface to the PowerPC® 405 processor block. It contains information on input/output signals, timing relationships between signals, and the mechanisms software can use to control the interface operation.

This guide describes the PCB guidelines for the Virtex®-4 family. It covers SelectIO™ interface signaling, RocketIO™ transceiver signaling, power distribution systems, PCB breakout, and parts placement.

The reference design described in this document serves as an introduction to Xilinx embedded solutions, specifically the PowerPC™ processor. It also covers the Xilinx Platform Studio™ tool and the included Base System Builder™ wizard. Finally, this reference design illustrates how to add custom or third-party IP to the PowerPC APU interface.
