I'm having problems to find the user's guide for the Avnet Virtex-II evaluation board

Former Member
Former Member over 1 year ago

Hi, I'm a master's student focus in embedded systems and I'm working with old FPGAs. I know, isn't recommended to use devices that nowadays are discontinued. But it's the only equipment that we have. I'm having problems to find the user's guide for the Avnet Virtex-II evaluation board, I only find the product brief PDF on the Internet Wayback Machine. Any clue of where can I find the user's guide?

    There exists a Xilinx (before being purchased by AMD) page dedicated to legacy Virtex boards. https://web.archive.org/web/20110220035245/http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards_kits/legacy_virtex.htm …

    Googling I found this manual, it seems quite similar to what you are looking for.

    It seems to me that neither of us have got it right.

    The difficulty of finding "Evaluation Board" versus "Development Kit" Slight smile Google is not as good as it used to be.

    It's been very difficult to find any information about "evaluation board", even finding the board for sale on eBay. I don't know if the board wasn't popular back in the day

    Seems similar, but it's kinda different from the pin distribution in the development kit

    I believe I found your reddit thread about it. What I find odd is that I cannot find that result in the web archive when I attempt to search for that URL path myself.

    For example:
    https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.avnet.com/static_file/em/en_us_master/non_linguistic/vign_managed/*

    Brings up no results. If you are able to go back to the product brief you've found on the wayback machine, you could try searching under that folder path to see if there are any other pdf files. Let us know what you find.

    There exists a Xilinx (before being purchased by AMD) page dedicated to legacy Virtex boards.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20110220035245/http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards_kits/legacy_virtex.htm

    This lists several Virtex-II boards.

    Virtex-II FG256 Prototype Board
    Virtex-II FG456 Evaluation Board
    Virtex-II FG676 Prototype Board
    Virtex-II FF1152 Prototype Board

    These don't appear to match the one you're looking for:

    Which suggests it's an Avnet custom special.
