I've bought XUPV2P! =)

xupv2p

hello guys, i've bought XUPv2P board, for student price of cuz

maybe some of you already have some simple ready reference designs, rather than the ones provided with board?

i want to play with vide... i have one question:

I have a laptop with a video In, seems to me that i can attach another PC to my laptop, and use my LapTop's monitor as separate monitor for another PC...

so, can i connect my XSGA output of XUPv2P board to my laptops monitor?

and it also has SATA connectors (three).. does it mean i can connect any SATA HDD to my board, keyboard... my laptops monitor..and then load some operating system, and have custom PC? (but with much lower processor speed than pentium of cuz)?

so what u think about ideas above? can this be implemented?

and one important question....can i spoil/burn/harm my board if i do something wrong?? i am not going to hook my own circuits there.... except the standard equipment described above...so with this things it is NOT possible to spoil board if i load something wrong there?

thank u!

Added after 2 hours 5 minutes:

i have also downloaded ISE Free WebPack 9.2 will it program my board? i saw somewhere on net...that older 9.1 didnt support this board, but new 9.2 does...is it true?

why? you can find it on www.digilentinc.com

The connectors are only connectors, it's you who must create the IP SATA for these connectors.

can anyone say me here can i get iMPACT software??? i even cannot find it for download either on xilnx website or google!... is this enough to fully program this board?

iMPACT is included with your ISE WebPACK. It should appear in your Windows Start Menu under Xilinx ISE Accessories. An easier way to get started is to use ISE Project Navigator to create a small test project (such as flashing an LED), and download it through a USB cable into the FPGA. Project Navigator is a GUI that semi-conveniently runs all the individual ISE tools such as XST, MAP, PAR, BitGen, and iMPACT.

I don't know much about the XUPV2P board, except that individual owners seem to have trouble finding adequate documentation and example projects. I think most university projects used the embedded PowerPC, and for that you would want Xilinx EDK in addition to ISE.

Try asking Xilinx why their web page link to "reference designs" is broken. Maybe it's only accessible to universities:

thanks

maybe you can try to get it a free one if you are a student and apply for it in the name of your group

hi,

interestingly i followed your footsteps and bought my own XUPV2P board!

but, i am having trouble with EDK tools...
is there any alternative for that??

can i use any tools that is free to try embedded softwares on that board?

There are reference designs on the CD that comes with the board.

Hi,
I got the same board as well,
You dont get the EDK, free or eval, you need to purchase it,
I have yet to put my hands on it at the moment, but will do so soon,

may need your help with it later on... lol

cheers

If the Xilinx reference designs link is broken, here's another online tutorial and examples website:

There are a few tutorials there to get you started.
