Hi, I remember few people out here talking about the VirtexIIPro. What Eval Boards did you use ? Experiences ? Anybody used the VirtexIIPro with a PCI-Bridge ? cheers & thanks in advance ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

Insight electronics has a V2Pro evaluation card that is bare bones: http://www.insight.memec.com/cgi-bin/bvutf8/memec/scripts/local/ mc_loc_b.jsp?Div=INSIGHT&Reg=AMERICAS&Country=UNITED_STATES&Lang=EN&isDe tailPage=true&EDOID=200910&Manu=MD_XILINX It's a lot cheaper than the Xilinx ML300 but, of course, doesn't do as much. You can get daughter cards for it to support things like Ethernet, CompactFlash, etc. I understand that 'Mind' has ported PPCBoot and Linux to the card: http://mind.be/library/software/ Xilinx has a OPB to PCI bridge that supports their PCI core but it doesn't (yet) support host applications. Right now the bridge requires a license to use but I understand that if you already have a license to their PCI core then you automatically qualify for the OPB-PCI bridge. At least that's what my FAE has told me. I am just getting into a PCI design with the chip so I don't have any direct experience to relate. Bob fishcamp engineering 105 W.

Emanuel, Xilinx sells the ML300 board, see http://www.xilinx.com/ml300. The board has a PMC slot, two PC Card slots and FireWire (behind a PCI bridge). All peripherals (including the PCI host bridge) are compiled into the FPGA. MontaVista Linux 3.0 supports the ML300 including PCI, see http://www.mvista.com/partners/semiconductor/xilinx.html Our distributors also sell Virtex-II Pro based boards. AFAIK, none of them have PCI. - Peter emanuel stiebler wrote:

Yes, it does. Many PCI, PCMCIA, and PC cards work. - Peter ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

Glad to hear that the OPB-PCI bridge supports host configurations! The documentation needs updating. Bob fishcamp engineering 105 W. Clark Ave. Orcutt, CA 93455 http://www.fishcamp.com TEL: 805-937-6365 FAX: 805-937-6252 On Friday, May 16, 2003, at 05:22 PM, Peter Ryser wrote:

Bob, V2PDK contains all necessary files for a PCI host configuration and the example design for ML300 uses it. The design as well as the PCI host bridge are documented in V2PDK. - Peter bob piatek wrote:

Peter, The documentation I was referring to is the opb_pci_designspec.pdf (DS437 V2.1 January 7, 2003) from the latest EDK. Although it documents host bridge operation, on page 2 it states that host bridge functionality is not implemented but will be available in a future release of the core.
