Solution

New Features 

- ISE 11.2 software support 

- Virtex-6 support 

- Virtex-5 GTX RocketIO Wizard updates 

- Debug section added to XAUI User Guide 

Resolved Issues 

(Xilinx Answer 32539) XAUI v8.1 and earlier - Data errors seen when using Virtex-5 GTX RocketIO during asynchronous operation  

(Xilinx Answer 32541) XAUI v8.1 - The core GUI incorrectly allows MGT state machines to be selected for Virtex-4  

Known Issues 

- Virtex-6 solutions are pending hardware validation. 

-Software Support for the Virtex-6 Lower Power parts was added in this release but the XAUI Core does not yet support these device and can not be generated from Core Generator targeting Virtex-6 Lower Power. Pending further testing support for Virtex-6 Lower Power parts is planned for 11.3. In order to work around this issue, you can set your project to target an equivalent Virtex-6 LXT device which will allow you to generate the IP.

(Xilinx Answer 33135) LogiCORE XAUI v8.2 - Incorrect Virtex-6 GTX attribute when not using the IEEE state machines
