1 RC200/203 board
The RC200 and RC203 are platforms for evaluation and development of high-
performance FPGA-based applications. The platforms include a Xilinx Virtex-II FPGA,
external memory, programmable clocks, Ethernet, Audio, Video, SmartMedia, Parallel
port, RS-232 and PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Supporting software includes PAL, DSM, the
RC200 PSL, and the FTU2 File Transfer Utility.
The only difference between the RC200 and RC203 platforms is the FPGA fitted, a
2V1000-4 on the RC200 and a larger 2V3000-4 on the RC203.
The RC200 is available in 3 versions:
• Standard (part number RC-I-200-2V1K4S)
• Professional (part number RC-I-200-2V1K4P)
• Expert (part number RC-I-200-2V1K4E)
The RC203 is also available in 3 versions:
• Standard (part number RC-I-203-2V3K4S)
• Professional (part number RC-I-203-2V3K4P)
• Expert (part number RC-I-203-2V3K4E)
Except where specifically noted in this document "RC200" should be taken as meaning
either RC200 or RC203.
Note: On the RC203 platform it is very important not to use any pins not specifically
referenced in this document. To do so risks damaging the FPGA device.
It is recommended that you use the RC200 Platform Support Library to program the
board.
System requirements
• DK Design Suite. Only required if you want to use the PAL, DSM and RC200
Platform Support libraries.
• Microsoft Windows NT4, Windows 2000 or Windows XP for the FTU2 program
and for use of the DK Design Suite.
