Getting Started with the
Kintex-7 FPGA KC705 Evaluation Kit
(Vivado Design Suite 2013.2)
Introduction
The Kintex®-7 FPGA KC705 evaluation kit provides a comprehensive, high-performance
development and demonstration platform using the Kintex-7 FPGA family for
high-bandwidth and high-performance applications in multiple market segments. The kit
enables designing with DDR3, I/O expansion through FMC, and common serial
standards, such as PCI Express®, XAUI, and proprietary serial standards through the SMA
interface. See the KC705 Evaluation Board for the Kintex-7 FPGA User Guide (UG810
) and the
KC705 support website
.
The built-in self-test (BIST) and Kintex-7 FPGA Base Targeted Reference Design (TRD) are
developed on this kit.
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 Operation: Enables hands-on operation with the base TRD, which features
PCIe, DDR3 memory, and AXI—all supported through a custom evaluation graphical
user interface (GUI).
