I am attempting to exercise the interfaces on the Virtex-6 FPGA ML623 Characterization Kit.
What tests can be run to ensure that the interfaces are working correctly?

| Board Power Monitoring Interface (TI PMBus) |
(Xilinx Answer 37561) | Requires the TI USB EVM Adapter; See (Xilinx Answer 54022) |
| Board Single-Ended SMA Clock Input | none available | These are completely user-driven clocks. A good test would be loop back or monitoring differential I/O on a scope. |
| Board Differential SMA Clock Input | none available | These are completely user-driven differential clocks. It might be possible to modify an example design to use these instead of the socketed oscillator |
| Board Oscillator (200 MHz, differential) | ML623 User Guide (UG724) | RDF0080 - includes examples for IBERT, UART, DIP switches, LEDs; these use the primary clock. If they work, it works. |
| Board SuperClock-2 Module | ML623 IBERT Guide (UG725) | IBERT Design can use SuperClock-2 Module |
| Board USB Serial UART | ML623 User Guide (UG724) | RDF0080 - Example designs use UART for feedback on screen. |
| Board FMC-HPC Connectors | XM105 User Guide (UG537) | Page 29. This is the User Guide for the XM105 mezzanine debug card. This card has DS5, DS6, and DS7 which indicate good power to the board. Debug strategies will vary depending on the specific mezzanine card being used. Can also use XTP091 |

| User I/O header | ML623 User Guide (UG724) | RDF0080 - includes examples for IBERT, UART, DIP switches, LEDs |
| User LEDs | ML623 User Guide (UG724) | RDF0080 - includes examples for IBERT, UART, DIP switches, LEDs |
| User DIP switches | ML623 User Guide (UG724) | RDF0080 - includes examples for IBERT, UART, DIP switches, LEDs |
| User GPIO Header | none available | A simple shunt jumper loopback test could be used. |
| User PushButtons | none available | The existing LED test could be modified to illuminate the LED when the pushbutton is exercised. |
