DDR Memory•Registered 256 MB PC3200 double data rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) with an industry-standard 184-pin count.•Access to memory is through software application by pointers.•Memory check programs are provided.
Serial port FPGA UART (RS-232 standard)Serial port (J4) is connected to the XC2VP30 FPGA (U37) through a MAX3232 Transceiver (U7). It can be accessed by simply implementing a UART in the FPGA fabric.

Directly connected to FPGA peripheralsDirectly connected to FPGA peripheralsSystem ACE CF Controller
•The System ACE CF controller is the primary means of configuring the XC2VP30 on the ML310 board through the JTAG interface.•System ACE CF controller can be used to facilitate general-use, non-volatile storage. The System ACE CF controller provides an MPU interface for allowing a microprocessor to access the CompactFlash memory, enabling the use of the CompactFlash card as a file system.
GPIO•The ML310 Hardware Platform provides direct GPIO access to eight LEDs for general purpose use, and provides indirect access to a 16-pin connector (J13) that interfaces the ML310 to a 2-line by 16-character LCD display, AND491GST. A simple register interface handles access to the XC2VP30 GPIO signals.

Directly connected to FPGA peripheralsDirectly connected to FPGA peripheralsIIC/SMBus Interface
•The Inter Integrated Circuit (IIC) bus provides the connection from the CPU to peripherals. It’s a serial bus with data and clock bidirectional signals.•The IIC/SMBus interface serves as an interface to one master device and multiple slave devices.•SMBus uses IIC as its backbone.
Serial Peripheral Interface•Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), is a serial interface like the IIC bus interface. There are three differences: the SPI operates at a higher speed, there are separate transmit and receive data lines, and the device access is chip-select based instead of address based.•The ML310 employs a single SPI device which is a 25LC640, 64 kb EEPROM.

PM1, PM2 connectors•Each connector has 40 differential pairs and several
power and ground pins. Together, the two PM connectors on the ML310 support 158 high-speed I/O pins that can be user defined. The PM1 and PM2 signals are as follows: • 8 RocketIO MGT pairs (32 pins total)
• 42 LVDS pairs (can be used as 84 single-ended I/O at 2.5V) • 1 LVDS clock pair • 38 single-ended I/O
• 12 at 2.5V• 26 at 3.3V
• 2 single-ended 2.5V clocks • 2 pins not connected

The onboard 33 MHz, 32-bit PCI bus is connected to fixed PCI devices, listed below, that are part of the ML310 board:
♦ Two 3.3V keyed PCI add-in card slots (P5 and P3)♦ Two 5.0V keyed PCI add-in card slots (P6 and P4)♦ Intel, GD82559, 10/100 PCI Ethernet NIC♦ Ali, M1535D+, PCI South Bridge
The Virtex-II Pro PPC405 processors can gain access to the primary PCI bus through the EDKPCI Host Bridge IP. EDK also provides PCI Arbiter IP.

Intel, GD82559, 10/100 PCI Ethernet NIC•Fast Ethernet controller with an integrated 10/100 Mb/s physical layer device for PCI board LAN designs.
Ethernet MAC (Media access controller)•Provided softcores for Ethernet implementation are: OPB/PLB Ethernet MAC.•There is also “Lite” version of OPB MAC with minimal necessary functions.•All low level drivers are provided.
Note: For Ethernet testing appropriate protocol must be implemented (TCP/IP for example). There is an option to use “internet sniffer” programIn HOST with crossed cable connected in order to detected any data packets.
