virtex4 virtex-4 FX eval board

Hello

Is there a Virtex4 FX eval board available yet?

We want to begin working with the on-chip Gig Ethernet mac.

Howdy Pete,

   I don't know how available it is, but if you scroll down a ways on
the page below (or search for ML40x), you'll find that just today they
released a new copy of the eval platform user guide that mentions the
ML403 - and it appears to have an XC4VFX12 (with two MAC's, but no
Rocket I/O's).

In fact, the updated document has a link to an ML403 page, which lists
the FX12 eval board as costing $500:

I also notice they trickled a few more numbers out onto the main V4
datasheet.

Have fun,

Looks like Memec will be releasing something at the 2005 Embedded Systems
Conference later this month.
