Virtex-6 DSP Development Kit

[TiagoPereira]

To whom it may concern,

I recently bought a ML605 kit from AVNET and I'm trying make a simple LED test controlled by the switches.

I get no errors performing a JTAG compilation or configuring the board, but the board(leds) don't light up in any way.

I attached my file hoping someone can help

Cheers,

Tiago

Xilinx provides a large supply of reference designs that can be used on the ML605 board.  You can access these reference design with the following links.

The "ML605 Built-In Self Test Applications" enable you to test out many features of the board, including the pushbutton switches & LEDs you are interested in.

Hi Kountryk,

I have access to both designs.

But not a single focus on mapping ports through Hardware Co-Simulation which is my current problem.

My BIST works fine by the way

Mapping of FPGA IO pins for HW co-simulation is not a topic covered by the ML605 User's Guide or reference designs.

I recommend reading Chapter 3 Using Hardware Co-simulation in the System Generator User Guide, especially the section titled Board Specific I/O Ports.
