Congratulations! The system performance of the Virtex-6 FPGA Connectivity Kit has been
evaluated using the pre-built demonstration design. This design includes the built-in
integrated block for PCI Express (4-lane, 5 GT/s configuration for PCI Express v2.0), XAUI
LogiCORE IP, a Virtual FIFO memory controller designed to interface to the onboard
DDR3 SODIMM device, and a third-party DMA controller for PCI Express.
