Conventions
This document uses the following conventions. An example illustrates each convention.
Typographical
The following typographical conventions are used in this document:
Online Document
The following conventions are used in this document:
3. Connect the RS-232 null modem cable (Figure 3) to the ML507 Board and the host PC
X-Ref Target - Figure 3
4. Connect either a DVI monitor to the ML507 board or use the provided DVI/VGA
adapter (Figure 4) to connect to a VGA monitor
X-Ref Target - Figure 4
7. Insert the provided CompactFlash card into the board (Figure 7) as shown in (1) below
8. Set the Front DIP switches (SW3) to 00010101 (1=ON) as shown in (2) below
9. Set the Back DIP switches (SW6) to 11001010 as shown in (3) below
X-Ref Target - Figure 7
Now you are ready to run the pre-installed Demos with this kit. Follow the next set of
instructions to run the demos
2. Type 1 in the Terminal program to load the slideshow demo program (Figure 10)
♦ You will see the following messages on the Terminal & LCD screens
♦ On the DVI or VGA monitor, you will see a series of slides as shown below
You can run through the other pre-installed demos in a similar manner. For detailed demo
instructions, please read the "ML507 QuickStart" document in the following page:
http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/ml507/reference_designs.htm
You have now run some demos using the ML507 board with Virtex-5 FX70T FPGA and
MicroBlaze & PowerPC440 processors. Since you are using an FPGA, you can fully
customize these processor systems or create your own designs for the Virtex-5 FXT FPGA.
In order to do that, you need to install the ISE Design Suite 11 tools on your computer. The
next section of this document will guide you through those steps.
Now you are ready to use Xilinx ISE Design Suite 11 Embedded Edition to create or modify
your custom Embedded Systems using MicroBlaze or PowerPC440 processors.
For detailed information on licensing and installation, see the following guide:
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx11/irn.pdf
You have now installed the ISE Design Suite 11 tools and setup the licenses for the
Embedded Edition of the tools.
Next Steps
Now that you have run through some FPGA-based embedded processor demos and
installed the ISE Design Suite Embedded Edition, you are ready to create custom
embedded systems for the Virtex-5 FXT FPGA.
The following section provides pointers to various tutorials and reference designs that will
help you get familiar with the embedded hardware and software tools needed to
customize MicroBlaze and PowerPC440 designs for the Virtex-5 FXT FPGA.
