The Virtex-5 OpenSPARC Evaluation Platform is a powerful system for hosting the OpenSparc T1 open-source microprocessor. Equivalent to the Xilinx ML509 board and based on the Xilinx XUPV5-LX110T FPGA, this kit brings the throughput of OpenSPARC Chip Multi-Threading to an FPGA.
Kit Includes:
- XUPV5-LX110T board
- 1GB Compact Flash card
- 256 MB SODIMM module
- SATA cable
- XUP USB-JTAG Programming Cable
- DVI to VGA adapter
- 4A power supply
OpenSPARC T1 is the open-sourced version of the custom designed UltraSPARC
T1 Microprocesor from Sun Microsystems. To broaden the appeal of this
state-of-the-art Chip Multi-threading (CMT) technology to the developers,
engineers at Sun Microsystems and Xilinx Inc. have developed a reference
design that allows a scaled-down version of the OpenSPARC T1 processor to run on Xilinx
Virtex 5 FPGAs. We believe this reference design will be an excellent
starting point for researchers and entrepreneurs to build and test novel
ideas in the areas of computer architecture, logic design, parallel
programming, and compiler techniques, among others. For more details on how
to download the OpenSPARC design and the reference design, please visit
