d. The target FPGA listens on the UDP port 9999. Please ensure the underlying network does not block the associated traffic when network-based Ethernet configuration is used. This does not affect point-to-point Ethernet configuration.
Installing an ML605 Platform for Ethernet Hardware Co-Simulation
The following procedure describes how to install and configure the hardware and software required to run an ML605 Platform Point-to-Point Ethernet Hardware Co-Simulation.
Assemble the Required Hardware
1.
Xilinx Virtex®-6 LX ML605 Platform which includes the following: a.
Virtex-6 ML605 Platform b. 12V Power Supply bundled with the ML605 kit
2.
You also need the following items on hand: a.
Ethernet network Interface Card (NIC) for the host PC.
b. Ethernet RJ45 Male/Male cable. (May be a Network or Crossover cable.)
Install the Software on the Host PC
Make sure the following software is installed on your PC:
•
System Generator version as specified in the current System Generator Release Notes.
•
Xilinx ISE® Software version as specified in the current System Generator Release
Notes.
•
WinPcap version 4.0, which may be installed through the System Generator installer or obtained from the website at http://www.winpcap.org
.
Setup the Local Area Network on the PC
You are required to have a 10/100 Fast Ethernet or a Gigabit Ethernet Adapter on you PC.
To configure the settings do the following:

1.
As shown below, from the Start menu, select Control Panel, then right-click on Local
Area Connection
, then select Properties.
2.
As shown below, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click on the Properties button and set the IP address 192.168.8.2 and the Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. (The last digit of the IP Address must be something other than 1 because 192.168.8.1 is the default IP
address fo ML605. See Load the Sysgen ML506 HW Co-Sim Configuration Files
for further details.).

Setup the ML605 Platform
The figure below illustrates the ML605 components of interest in this setup procedure:
Ethernet Mode Select jumpers (J66 & J67)
Power Connector
Power Switch
LEDs
Ethernet
1.
Position the ML605 platform so the Xilinx logo is oriented near the lower-left corner.
2.
Make sure the power switch, located in the upper-right corner of the platform, is in the
OFF
position.
3.
Connect the AC power cord to the power supply brick. Plug the 12V power supply adapter cable into the ML605 platform. Plug in the power supply to AC power.
Caution!
Make sure you use an appropriate power supply with correct voltage and power ratings.
4.
Using the RJ45 Male/Male Ethernet Cable, connect the Ethernet connector on the
ML605 board directly to the Ethernet connector on the host PC.
5.
Set the Ethernet Mode Select jumpers
Connect pin 1 and 2 on both the Ethernet Mode Select jumpers (J66 and J67)

Hardware Co-Simulation
The following procedure describes how to install and setup the hardware and software required to run Hardware Co-Simulation on a Spartan-3A DSP 1800A Starter Platform.
This platform uses a JTAG cable instead of System ACE™ to download the configurtion bitstream.
Assemble the Required Hardware
1.
Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP 1800A Starter Platform which includes the following: a.
Spartan-3A DSP 1800A Starter Platform b. 5V Power Supply bundled with the development kit
2.
You also need the following items on hand: a.
Ethernet network Interface Card (NIC) for the host PC.
b. Ethernet RJ45 Male/Male cable. (May be a Network or Crossover cable.) c.
Xilinx Parallel Cable IV with associated Power Jack splitter cable or a Xilinx
Platform USB Cable and a 14-pin ribbon cable.
Install the Software on the Host PC
Make sure the following software is installed on your PC:
•
System Generator version as specified in the current System Generator Release Notes.
•
Xilinx ISE® Software version as specified in the current System Generator Release
Notes.
•
