The
Virtex-5
OpenSPARC
Evaluation
Platform
is a
powerful
system
for
hosting
the
OpenSparc
T1
open-source
microprocessor.
Based
on
the
Xilinx
XUPV5-LX110T,
a
versatile
general
purpose
development
board
powered
by
the
Virtex®-5
FPGA,
this
kit
brings
the
throughput
of
OpenSPARC
Chip
Multi-Threading
to
an
FPGA.
Kit
Includes:
- XUPV5-LX110T board
- 1GB Compact Flash card
- 256 MB SODIMM module
- SATA cable
- XUP USB-JTAG Programming Cable
- DVI to VGA adapter
- 6A power supply
OpenSPARC
T1
is
the
open-sourced
version
of
the
custom
designed
UltraSPARC
T1
Microprocesor
from
Sun
Microsystems.
To
broaden
the
appeal
of
this
state-of-the-art
Chip
Multi-threading
(CMT)
technology
to
the
developers,
engineers
at
Sun
Microsystems
and
Xilinx
Inc.
have
developed
a
reference
design
that
allows
a
scaled-down
version
of
the
OpenSPARC
T1
processor
to
run
on
Xilinx
Virtex
5
FPGAs.
We
believe
this
reference
design
will
be
an
excellent
starting
point
for
researchers
and
entrepreneurs
to
build
and
test
novel
ideas
in
the
areas
of
computer
architecture,
logic
design,
parallel
programming,
and
compiler
techniques,
among
others.
