Introduction

The GR-VPX-XCKU060 is an OpenVPX compatible, 6U format, Payload profile development board with a Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale 060 FPGA.

GR-VPX-XCKU060

The GR-VPX-XCKU060 board features a Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale 060 FPGA and a GR716 microcontroller acting as a supervisor for the FPGA.

The FPGA development board GR-VPX-XCKU060 has the following features:

• Xilinx XCKU060, in 1517 pin FCBGA package.
• GR716B (initially with GR716A) microcontroller.
• FPGA interface to DDR3 SDRAM via two SODIMM connectors.
• 64-bit data bus on the first SODIMM. Up to 4GiB.
• 32-bit data bus on the second SODIMM. Up to 2GiB.
• SPI flash(es) for FPGA configuration (512 Mbit), for GR716 boot (256 Mbit), and for data (256 Mbit).
• Power, Reset, Clock and Auxiliary circuits.
• Three FMC Mezzanine expansion connectors.
• Scrubbing interface for FPGA.
• Backplane I/F: SpaceWire (control), SpaceFibre (data), VPX utility management.
• Frontplane I/F and drivers: 4x SpaceFibre, 2x SpaceWire, USB/FTDI UART/JTAG Links, USB I/F to FMC.
• OpenVPX compatible, 6U format, Payload profile.
