AMD DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J

Overview

DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J from Xilinx is an embedded development kit built around the Virtex-5 FX70T FPGA featuring dual PowerPC 440 cores and MicroBlaze soft processor support, with pre-integrated Linux reference designs (Wind River Linux 2.0 GPP, MontaVista Linux 4.0), RTOS support (VxWorks, ThreadX, Integrity), ISE Embedded Edition tool license, and hardware including USB download cable, DVI adapter, SATA/serial/Ethernet cables, and 512 MB CompactFlash card.

For engineers reviewing the DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified hardware/software integration scope, supported OS versions, FPGA device lock (V5FX70T), included IP and reference designs, and delivery-ready procurement details for rapid embedded prototyping.

Technical Context

The DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J implements a complete embedded processing platform centered on the Virtex-5 FX70T FPGA, which integrates two 300–500 MHz PowerPC 440 processor cores with dedicated FPU, 512 KB on-chip Block RAM, and high-speed serial transceivers. It supports both hard-core PPC440 and soft-core MicroBlaze execution environments within a single device.

Xilinx Platform Studio (EDK) provides hardware configuration, automated BSP generation, driver synthesis, and software library integration for Linux and RTOS targets. The kit includes full ISE Embedded Edition licensing locked exclusively to the V5FX70T device, enabling bitstream generation and system-level co-design.

FAQ

What is the primary FPGA device used in the DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J?

The DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J uses the Virtex-5 FX70T FPGA as its core programmable logic device. This device integrates dual PowerPC 440 processor cores, 70,000 logic cells, and high-speed serial transceivers. The DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J is specifically configured and licensed for this part, and all included reference designs and tool licenses are bound to the V5FX70T device.

Does the DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J include a full license for Xilinx ISE tools?

Yes, the DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J includes a full seat of ISE Embedded Edition software, permanently locked to the Virtex-5 FX70T device. This license covers synthesis, implementation, simulation, and bitstream generation. The DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J does not require separate tool purchase or activation beyond initial installation and node-locked authorization.

Which real-time operating systems are officially supported on the DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J?

The DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J officially supports Wind River VxWorks, ExpressLogic ThreadX, and Green Hills Integrity. These RTOSes are provided with validated BSPs, bootloaders, and peripheral drivers targeting both the PPC440 and MicroBlaze processors. All RTOS support is documented in UG511 and delivered with the DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J reference materials.

Is Linux support included with the DK-V5-EMBD-ML507-G-J, and which distributions are provided?
