The CHIPit QuickSilver is an FPGA protoyping platform which enables the usage of socalled ‘FPGA Extension Boards’ - which were actually designed for use on a CHIPit Platinum/ Iridium/Copper Edition system - as a self-contained, stand-alone system featuring only one User FPGA, namely the one on the respective FPGA Extension Board itself. A CHIPit QuickSilver system always consists of the ‘FPGA EB Platform Board’ and a FPGA Extension Boards, like PSX FPGA Virtex-5LX SODIMM Board, a powerful FPGA extension board equipped with the Xilinx Virtex 5 LX330 FPGA and 640 free user I/Os.
