Current using Project X-Ray requires a bitstream "harness" which connects IO into the ROI.
Once you have the "harness" bitstream, you can place and route designs using only open source tools despite Project X-Ray still not understand how to configure the complete bitstream and IO tiles.
Currently supported boards are listed below, they are;
- FPGA Part:
XC7A35TCSG324-1 - Cost: $USD 119.00
- Buy Arty A7 from Digilent
Only the Arty A7-35T version of the board is currently supported (this was sometimes just called just the "Arty").
Description from the Digilent website;
Arty is a ready-to-use development platform designed around the Artix-7™ Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Xilinx. It was designed specifically for use as a MicroBlaze Soft Processing System. When used in this context, Arty becomes an incredibly flexible processing platform, capable of adapting to whatever your project requires. Unlike other single board computers, Arty isn't bound to a single set of processing peripherals; one moment it's a communication powerhouse chock-full of UARTs, SPIs, IICs, and an Ethernet MAC, and the next it's a meticulous timekeeper with a dozen 32-bit timers. Additionally, with the universally popular expansion headers (Arduino™ R3 Headers and our Pmod™ headers), Arty will become the most adaptable tool in your project tool box.
