6.1 Quixote
6.1.1 Overview
The Quixote has two FPGAs on it : a Xilinx Spartan2 (200K gates) and a Xilinx Virtex2 (2M or 6M
gates). The Virtex2 is used for the analog interfacing and as the computational logic on the board.
Major elements inside the Spartan2 logic are the PCI interface, interrupt control, timebase
selection and message mailboxes. The Spartan2 source code is not normally provided.
Quixote II and III are open logic products that include additional memory for FPGA computational
space, and either a 2M (II) or 6M (III) gate Xilinx Virtex2 FPGA. The logic in Quixote I is provided
in source form to assist in custom application developments.
Quixote supports in-circuit reconfiguration of the Xilinx Virtex2 over its Select Map interface.
FPGA logic images may be downloaded to the Virtex2 logic as part of the software application at
any time of its SelectMap interface. The Pismo toolset provides software support for logic
configuration (see the VelociaDownload.exe applet and the ArmadaMatador.hlp/chm help file
under TIIVelocia).
6.1.2 Target Devices
Quixote has as its user programmable logic a Xilinx Virtex2 FPGA. The Virtex2 FPGAs have
many resources in addition to the logic gates such as embedded RAM blocks, digital clock
managers (DCMs), and flexible IO standards that are used in the sample logic. The Quixote is
offered with either a 2M gate device or 6M gate device.
Quixote Variant Logic Density Device Used
Quixote II (80069-2) 2M Xilinx XC2V2000-4FF896C
Quixote III (80069-3) 6M Xilinx XC2V6000-4FF1152C
Note : Quixote I (80069-1) does not support user programming of the logic.
