    Core1553BRT DevKit Quick Start Guide The Core 1553BRT DevKit is a starter kit for working with Actel Core1553BRT products and is intended to help you get your 1553BRT product to market faster. Intended uses are as follows: To provide a hardware platform for software driver development specific to your system.

  • Page 10: What's Included

    The FPGA contains five main blocks: the PCI Target, Control registers, 1553B RT, address mapper and the SSRAM interface. The PCI target is a standard implementation of the Actel CorePCI Target IP core (version 5.3). The Control registers control the operating mode inputs on the 1553BRT core (see “Using the Remote Terminal”...
