The FPGA contains three main blocks: the PCI Target, 1553B BC, and the
SSRAM interface.
The PCI target is a standard implementation of the Actel CorePCI Target IP
core (version 5.31). The SSRAM interface allows both the CorePCI and
Core1553BBC to access the same external memory.
The following is included with your new Core1553BBC Development Kit.
• 1553BBC card
• Socketed 54SX32A device implementing the Core1553BBC and CorePCI
function
• 1533B transceivers and transformers wired for direct coupling
• Header strips for backend observation
• Silicon Explorer connector for viewing internal nodes
• Actel 1553BBC Demo application software for either Win98, NT, XP, or
Windows 2000 systems
• VHDL source code for the chip-level wrapper, refer to
information
IP Cores (CorePCI and Core1553BBC) are sold separately.
Note:
You must install your software before you install the PCI
Demo Card.
