Tutorial
Overview
The ML505, ML506, and ML507 Evaluation Platforms (referred to as ML50x boards in this
guide [Ref 1]) come with a number of pre-installed demonstrations [Ref 2]. This tutorial
guides you through these demonstrations and provides instructions to run them on ML50x
boards.
Some demonstrations interact with a computer or an external device. The following
additional equipment is also recommended:
• DVI or VGA monitor
• Computer speaker with audio cable
• Ethernet port and an RJ-45 Ethernet cable
• USB keyboard (without a built-in USB hub)
• Null modem serial cable
• CompactFlash (CF) reader/writer for the computer
• Xilinx download cable (Parallel Cable III/IV or Platform Cable USB) with JTAG flying

The procedures for running the pre-installed Getting Started demonstrations are identical
for the ML505, ML506 and ML507. Generating and downloading bitstreams for the
Virtex-5 FXT device requires ISE 10.1 SP1 or later. See the ML505/ML506/ML507 Known
