Getting Started with the Video Demonstration
This Kintex-7 FPGA embedded kit comes with a video demonstration available on the
provided USB flash drive. This demonstration can be run before installing any additional
tools to get an overview of the features of the KC705 evaluation board using a MicroBlaze
processor subsystem in the Kintex-7 (XC7K325T-FF900-2) FPGA.
Processor System Used for the Video Demonstration
The provided video demonstration uses a pre-built Kintex-7 FPGA design (Figure 1-1)
with these features:
• MicroBlaze processor
• External DDR3 SDRAM interface
• External flash memory interface
• On-chip memory (block RAM)
• Integrated Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC
• UART (connected from the KC705 board via the USB-UART connector)
• Interrupt controller (Intc) and timer
• GPIO (LCD, LEDs, buttons, switches, and rotary)
• Software-configurable XADC block
