6 www.xilinx.com AC701 Getting Started Guide
UG967 (v3.0) July 10, 2013
Introduction
This Getting Started Guide is divided into two sections:
• Basic Hardware Bring-up: Enables hands-on operation of all the features in the BIST
as well as evaluation of Analog Mixed Signal (AMS) using the AMS101 evaluation
card.
• Advanced Bring-up: Enables hands-on operation with the base TRD, which features
PCIe®, DDR3 memory, AXI stream interconnect, and AXI virtual FIFO controller IP
cores—all supported through a custom evaluation graphical user interface (GUI).
