XPS Mailbox

XPS Mailbox features a bi-directional communication channel between two processors.

Overview

XPS Mailbox features a bi-directional communication channel between two processors. The XPS Mailbox can be connected to the processor either through PLB or FSL interface. The PLB interface option is available for both MicroBlaze, PPC or any other PLBv46 master. FSL option is available for direct connection to a MicroBlaze or any other FSL capable IP.

Key features

  • PLB interface is based on PLB v4.6 specification
  • FSL interface is based on FSL v2.0 specification
  • Configurable depth of mailbox
  • Configurable synchronous or asynchronous operation
  • Configurable interface, FSL or PLBv46, on each port
  • Bi-directional communication

Designing FPGA Based Reliable Systems Using Virtex-5 System Monitor

The fast track development and 24x7 operations have put tremendous pressure on the servers, networking systems and communication equipments. It has become necessary that these systems should operate reliably irrespective of the change in external operating environment like the temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations or, on chip conditions like on-chip temperature, internal voltage levels etc. Measuring the reliability of these physical systems is must for every operational unit.

Designing with Virtex-5 Embedded Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs

In this article, we’ll review the feature set of Ethernet MAC blocks in Virtex-5 devices. We’ll also describe the differences between Virtex-5 and Virtex-4 FX Ethernet MACs, illustrate some potential applications, and describe how to use standard Xilinx tools to integrate an Ethernet MAC into your design.
