                            Product Demo: Virtex™ 5 Power Estimation and Measurement Demonstration 
                                Derek Curd, Senior Staff Applications Engineer, Advanced Products Division 
XPE is a free, downloadable tool that enables engineers to quickly calculate power consumption projections based on their design’s parameters. It is available from the Power Central page on the Xilinx web site at www.xilinx.com/power
  
In this demonstration, we look at the steps required to create an accurate power estimate for Virtex-5 devices using the XPower Estimator (XPE) tool.  We then demonstrate the low power consumption characteristics of Virtex-5 devices by taking actual measurements on an ML550 board, the preferred platform for making detailed power measurements.  Finally, we compare our XPE results to the silicon measurements to determine the accuracy of our initial estimate.  And we give you the tips and techniques you need to accurately estimate power for your own design.

                              Brent Przybus, Sr. Product Marketing Manager 
                              Xilinx has partnered with Agilent to combine the flexibility of on-chip debug with the advanced capabilities available in Agilent’s 
Logic Analyzers to address debug and verification of complex FPGA systems.This demo shows the debug and verification of a Virtex design using Agilent's FPGA Dynamic Probe.  
You’ll see board setup, adding an ATC2 core to a design, configuration of the Xilinx FPGA, and set up of the Logic Analyzer to start debugging. |

                              View this demo to see how ChipScope Pro tools can be used to shorten the debug and verification phase 
                              of a Xilinx FPGA design. This demonstration will use ChipScope ILA and VIO cores to gain on-chip 
                              visibly into a Xilinx Virtex FPGA design. See advanced capabilities and features that allow the user to 
                              optimize on-chip resources. More integrated IP, high performance, and advanced interfaces result 
                              in a more challenging debug and verification process. See how Xilinx's ChipScope Pro tools slash debug 
                              and verification times, shortening the overall FPGA design time.  |

                            Product Demo: ChipScope Pro—Accelerating On-chip Debug & Verification 
                              Brent Przybus, Advanced Products Division, Product Marketing Mgr. 
                              This in-depth demo shows how ChipScope Pro, the real-time debug and verification tool for Xilinx 
                              FPGAs, enables on-chip debug at or near operating system speed. The size, speed, and board requirements 
                              of today's FPGAs make it nearly impossible to debug designs using traditional logic analysis methods. 
                              Flip-chip and ball grid array packaging do not have exposed leads that can be physically probed. Xilinx 
                              has the solution: ChipScope Pro. |
