Embedded FPGA platform for gigabit network applications (u4G-150) is a FPGA-based
board developed for wire-speed acceleration and/or processing of network packets
up to 1 Gbps. It consist of a powerful Xilinx Spartan-6 FGPA of biggest size and
speedgrade. It will be used also as an experimental platform.

Platform uses four metallic RJ45 ports for network connectivity, two 256 MB DDR3
memories for fast local data storage or system RAM, 16 MB boot flash for FPGA
device which can be also used as a slow persistent local data storage, slot for
micro SD(HC/XC) memory cards, powerful USB3.0 chip for high performance transfers
to computer or attached storage device (USB flash disc), serial (UART) connection
with micro USB Type B  connector and standard JTAG connector used mainly for easy
debugging and finally some signalization LEDs. It also consists of other
components (power components, crystals, passive components etc.).

Development for u4G-150 platform is fully under Xilinx EDK (Embedded Development
Kit) and Xilinx SDK (Software Development Kit) with own port of Linux for
MicroBlaze 8.00.b processor and bootloader
(http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/research/view_product.php.en?id=219) for SD(HC/XC)
memory cards. Some other details can be found in the technical report (in Czech)
(http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/research/view_pub.php.en?id=9817). Please contact
authors if you are interested in this software support.
