USB host and peripheral controllers
Programmable system clock generator
Stereo AC97 codec with line in, line out, headphone, microphone, and SPDIF digital audio jacks
RS-232 port, 16x2 character LCD, and many other I/O devices and ports
Includes 1GB Compact Flash card, 256 MB SODIMM module, SATA cable, XUP USB-JTAG Programming Cable & 4A power supply in the kit

JTAG HS1 Programming Cable

The JTAG-HS1 programming cable is a high-speed programming solution for Xilinx FPGAs. It is compatible with all Xilinx tools, including iMPACT, Chipscope, and EDK. The HS1 attaches to target boards using Digilent��s 6-pin, 100-mil spaced programming header, or Xilinx��s 2x7, 2mm connector (using the included adaptor). It is powered from a PC��s USB port. A separate Vdd pin is provided on the HS1 to supply JTAG signal buffers. These high speed, 24mA, three-state buffers allow target boards to use JTAG signal voltages from 1.8V to 5V, with bus speeds of up to 30MBit/sec. The HS1��s Vdd pin must be tied to the same voltage supply that drives the JTAG port on the FPGA.

Features:

Small, complete, all-in-one JTAG programming solution for Xilinx FPGAs
High-Speed USB2 port can drive JTAG/SPI bus at up to 30Mbit/sec
Compatible with all Xilinx tools
Fully supported by the Digilent Adept SDK, allowing custom JTAG/SPI applications to be created
Separate Vref drives JTAG/SPI signal voltages; Vref can be any voltage between 1.8V and 5V.
JTAG/SPI frequency settable by user
SPI programming solution (modes 0 and 2 supported)
Uses micro-AB USB2 connector
