For sale is a Xilinx Virtex BCG-560-100 FPGA development board including SW CD. This comes untested as I've never managed to make time for this nice project. But I'm almost certain that it works as it's not a basement find but comes from a nice and clean R&D environment. Includes one XCV1000E CPU on board and another new spare CPU in a vacuum sealed package should you manage to fry the one installed.

Asking for NO LONGER FOR SALE. PP gift or please add 4%. Postage to EU is £6 or £14.50 for tracked parcel. Now open to offers.







And the small print: I take pride in packaging all my items very well, with materials appropriate for the item. I have plenty of bubble wrap, padded envelopes, foam, anti-static bags and cardboard boxes. Post Danmark is more expensive than e.g. German post or Royal Mail but they are very reliable and fast, even with non-signed parcels. An economy letter to the UK typically takes 3-4 working days, often delivered only in 2 days.

Most of my items are New Old Stock (NOS) quality, unmodified and complete with original packaging, all accessories, manuals, inlays etc. I usually go out of my way to help resolve any problems. I normally test my items before sending out, but I can't offer any warranty or returns as I'm a private collector and most of my stuff is more than 15 years old.

is there any pdf about I/O? On board there is only clk generator in DIP and no configuration rom?
 
I think the board should be fully documented on the CD-ROM (I will check and send PM). Including FPGA synthesis software (likely some version of Xilinx ISE) About the board itself, I haven't spent enough time with it to know the exact configuration, so it comes exactly as on the picture. If you need higher resolution images let me know.
 
Yes if you don't mind, I want hi res picture of TOP side on PM. I've just browsing internet for board pdf and there is no info too.

This is a pro toolkit, so the only info is likely on Xilinx website. You have to sign up for an account on their developer network (I think basic account is still free) and you should be able to get docs and I think limited version on Xilinx ISE.
 
It's a very old Xilinx Virtex-E FPGA (2002) but it was very expensive in it's day. It is roughly 2x the capacity of the Xilinx Spartan III 400 on the MiniMig board (which is an ultra budget FPGA) but probably a fair bit slower. It's only a fraction of the size of the one on the FPGArcade.

I gave away some of this guys baby brothers last year

I've found similar board here http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/HW-AFX-BG560-100.htm , so as I said there is no pdf data about IOB. I've had xilinx account since 2006. I know that Virtex is pretty old hardware, and it's not so fast as new one Spartan 6 but I/O are 5V tolerant and for C64 this board is ideal for testing. I'm c64 hardware designer.
Summary:
- configuration prom is missing,
- no support from xilinx, no info about I/O.
- poor support from webpack.
@ tbtorro, can you check attached CD for pdf and software licence?

OK so high-res photos added. There is no SW on the CD-ROM. It contains ab. 200p full manual for the BG560-100, high-res schematics in pdf and viewdraw format, also PCB layouts and manufacturing dimensions in PDF, and some demo projects what appears to be in ISE format.

Since there was not much interest on this, decided to cannibalize the board for parts - can be closed.
