1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
This document describes the GR-LEON4-ITX Development Board.
The purpose of this equipment is to provide developers with a convenient hardware platform
for the evaluation and development of software for the Aeroflex Gaisler LEON4 Processor.
The LEON4 processor is a synthesizable VHDL model of a 32-bit processor compliant to the
SPARC V8 architecture. In this variant, Aeroflex Gaisler has implement a Dual Core LEON4
with a rich set of IP cores and interfaces in a eASIC structured ASIC running at 200 MHz on
this board.
The GR-LEON4-ITX Development Board comprises a custom designed PCB in a Mini-ITX
format, making the board suitable either for stand-alone bench top development, or if
required, to be mounted in a 'standard' commercial Mini-ITX housing.
The principle interfaces and functions are accessible on the front and back edges of the the
board, and secondary interfaces via headers on the board.
