SP605 Evaluation Board
Overview
The SP605 board enables hardware and software developers to create or evaluate designs
targeting the Spartan®-6 XC6SLX45T-3FGG484 FPGA.
The SP605 provides board features common to many embedded processing systems. Some
commonly used features include: a DDR3 component memory, a 1-lane PCI Express®
interface, a tri-mode Ethernet PHY, general purpose I/O and a UART. Additional user
desired features can be added through mezzanine cards attached to the onboard high
speed VITA-57 FPGA Mezzanine Connector (FMC) low pin count (LPC) connector.
“Features,” page 8 provides a general listing of the board features with details provided in
“Detailed Description,” page 10.
