The XStend Board provides additional
support circuitry that the XS40, XS95, XSA-50, XSA-100 and XSTE5 CSoC Boards can access through their breadboard
interfaces. This circuitry extends the range of applications of the XS Boards into
three new areas:
The pushbuttons, DIP switches, LEDs, and prototyping area are useful
for basic lab experiments.
The VGA monitor interface, PS/2 interface and additional static RAM
let you perform video and computing experiments.
The stereo codec and dual-channel analog I/O circuitry are useful for
processing audio signals in combination with DSP components synthesized with XILINX's CORE
generation software.
