Systemace Module (Sam) Connector - Xilinx Spartan-3A User Manual

Functional Description

SystemACE Module (SAM) Connector

The Spartan-3A DSP Starter Platform provides a SAM 50-pin connector (J8) for
SystemACE interface that can be used to configure the Spartan-3A DSP FPGA, and
provide storage for A/V media files from removable Compact Flash cards. The Avnet
SystemACE Module (DS-KIT-SYSTEMACE) can be used to perform both of these
functions.
Further information on the Avnet SystemACE Module may be found at:
www.em.avnet.com/systemace. This SystemACE module is not provided as part of this
