The ARM® RealView® family of feature rich development boards provides an
excellent environment for prototyping system-on-chip designs. Through arange of plug-in options, hardware and software applications can bedeveloped and debugged.
The high performance Versatile family enhances the end-user experience forbenchmarking and application development. It simplifies hardware andsoftware development, which shortens time to market.
Logic Tiles are the basic building blocks for FPGA prototyping with ARMboards. Because of their flexible interconnect, Logic Tiles can be used toprototype complete systems on chip, but they are normally used to expandwith custom AMBA peripherals the ARM subsystems provided on RealViewPlatform Baseboards and the RealView Emulation Baseboard.

Logic Tile for XC5VLX330 FPGA
The Logic Tile for the Xilinx XC5VLX330 FPGA is implemented in a 65-nanometer
process with wider Look-Up-Tables inputs (6-input LUTs), which reduce critical pathdelays, facilitating timing closure for ASIC prototyping. It has the same I/Ointerconnect as the Logic Tiles for the Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA with a maximum clock
frequency and capacity increase, making system partitioning easier. The Logic Tile forthe Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA also features an on-board 32MB ZBT SRAM.
Logic Tiles feature configurable switches, which allow flexible interconnect betweenboards without the need of cables. The clock architecture of Logic Tiles allows you tostack up to five of them together with minimal clock skew.
Most of the signals on the Logic Tile stacking connectors work at 3.3V, but onecomplete set of connectors have a configurable I/O voltage.
