LogicTile Express

LogicTile Express Image (View Larger LogicTile Express Image)
LogicTile Express is a range of plug-in daughterboards for the Motherboard Express (V2M-P1) board. Both are part of the Versatile™ Express family of ARM development boards. LogicTiles can be used for two purposes:
  • For prototyping and validation of custom ASIC IP alongside an ARM processor
  • As the base hardware for a Soft Macro Model (SMM)

There are three types of LogicTile Express board available. All are based on Xilinx FPGAs:

  • LogicTile Express 3MG - single Virtex-5 FPGA
  • LogicTile Express 13MG - dual Virtex-6 FPGAs
  • LogicTile Express 20MG - single Virtex-7 FPGA

For IP prototyping, the developer should choose, based on the amount of FPGA resource and upward IO expansion required. Please click on the tabs below for full product information.

 


  • FPGA development subsystem with fast programming and reconfiguration mechanism
  • Boards are stackable for incrementally expandable FPGA capacity
  • Support for automated FPGA partitioning tools
  • IO connectivity from top of stack via Samtec header connectors
  • Example IO expansion board design ships with the LTE-13MG board
  • Integrated Logic Analyzer connectivity
  • On-board user ZBT RAM for modelling on-chip RAM blocks such as large buffers or L2 cache
