Overview
Introduction
This document describes the platform reference design for the Kintex® UltraScale™
KCU1500 Acceleration development board, which when implemented in the Vivado
Design Suite produces a device support archive (DSA) suitable for use with the SDAccel™
Environment. With an understanding of the platform, you can also adapt the reference
design to your own needs.
The platform reference design targets a Kintex UltraScale (KU115) device, and is
distinguished from other such platforms by its use of four DDR4 SDRAM channels and the
expanded partial reconfiguration flow, described later in this document.
The DSA produced by this platform is available with the 2017.1 SDx™ Environments in the
following file:
xilinx_kcu1500_4ddr-xpr_4_0.dsa
Though the platform is designed for use with the SDAccel Environment when implemented
in the form of a DSA, the reference design itself is available as a Vivado project. The design
is constructed using the IP integrator tool, enabling easy modifications and visualization of
connectivity and addressing.
Beginning with the 2017.1 SDx Environments release, this reference design and the DSA
IMPORTANT:
it produces are compatible only with the Kintex UltraScale KCU1500 Acceleration Development Board.
They are not compatible with the previous revision of the board (termed Kintex UltraScale Developer
Board for Acceleration with KU115), which has different FPGA pinouts and DDR4 memory
configurations.
