UG887 (v1.0) February 4, 2013
Chapter 1: VC709 Evaluation Board Features
The default mode setting is M[2:0] = 010, which selects Master BPI at board power-on.
Refer to the Configuration Options, page 61 for detailed information about the mode
switch SW11.
For full details on configuring the FPGA, see 7 Series FPGAs Configuration User Guide
(UG470
).
I/O Voltage Rails
There are 17 I/O banks available on the Virtex-7 device. Fourteen I/O banks are available
on the VC709 board, and banks 12, 16, and 18 are not used. The voltages applied to the
FPGA I/O banks used by the VC709 board are listed in Table 1-3.
