Overview About this tutorial This tutorial will help you familiarize yourself with Xilinx's XtremeDSP Development Platform – Virtex-5 FPGA ML506 Edition. Familiarity of C, VHDL and MATLAB/Simulink would help but it is not required. The ML505/506/507 are the same boards, only the FPGA is different so this tutorial will apply to all of them. Parts of this tutorial are taken from Xilinx tutorials available here: http://www.xilinx.com/ml506 http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ml506.htm http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/ml506/reference_designs.htm In addition to the Xilinx documents, the following websites and books were also referenced: http://www.fpgadeveloper.com/ http://myfpgablog.blogspot.com/2009/12/sysgen-create-new-hwcosim-target-with.html http://academic.csuohio.edu/chu_p/rtl/fpga_vhdl.html Software needed • Xilinx ISE Design Suite (version 12.1 and 13.2 is used here) • Xilinx Platform Studio • Xilinx Software Development Kit • Xilinx System Generator • MATLAB/SIMULINK • Hyper Terminal / Tera Term / Putty or similar software (search it on Google and install) • msdosfs.exe with Windows XP (used for reformatting CF in case of file system corruption) Hardware needed • DVI cable or VGA cable with DVI adapter • RS232 cable for UART • Xilinx Platform USB cable • Speakers or headphones • Compact Flash reader (to load programs into the compact flash) 4
Setting up the ML506 board The ML506 Here is a picture of the ML506 evaluation board with its components labeled. Connecting the board The board should already be connected in the FPGA lab. If not, please refer to the Xilinx document titled: ml505_overview_setup.pdf For convenience, I will summarize it here. • Set the SW3 switches to 00010101 as shown in the picture: 5
