can anyone give me a reference price of the following Xilinx boards?

I can't check any price infomation about the following boards in
xilinx website:

1) ML521/3/5 ---- Virtex-5 GTP characterization board.
2) ML550 ---- Virtex-5 networking development board.

Btw: what about Virtex-5 VSK (Video Starter Kit), I hear that it will
support PCI-e.

Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,

Wicky

Looks like it.
The V5 VSK has not been released yet, and I'm not sure
what it will be when it is, but you can build your own with
the video i/o daughterboard from the V4 VSK, and an
ML506.

http://www.xilinx.com/ml506

I haven't ordered the ML506 yet, or even looked at the data
sheet in detail, but it certainly seems to have a PCI-e (1x)
available.

According to the Xilinx guy at ESC on Tuesday, the ML506
works fine with the VIODC. The only issue is the diff clock
on the expansion connector is the opposite polarity between
the ML402 and the ML506.

If you are looking for a Virtex-5 video development card with PCI express,
try this: http://www.imageproc.com/xilinx.php

Thank you for your kindly reply.

I have experience on V4-VSK. Now we will buy some Xilinx boards about
video processing and PCI-e interface.
If V5-Vsk support pci-e, then we will discard buying ML555 PCI-e
board.

As to ML506, I think it is unnecessary because V5-VSK uses SX95T.

Thanks again.
