FX3 for Windows 10 and Xilinx compatibility

[GergelySimon]

Hi,

I would like to evaluate some of your USB 3.0 workflows for potential development and have some related questions:

• Neither the FX3 SDK nor the AN-75705 9.5.1 explicitly mentions support for Windows 10 operating systems. Is there any limitations for use with Win 10?
• For the interconnect board CYUSB3ACC-005 you recommend the Xilinx Spartan SP601 Evaluation kit, which has been discontinued by Xilinx. Is this interconnect board compatible with either the SP605, SP701 or AC701 kits?

Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

Please find my comments for your questions below:

1. There are no limitations for using FX3 with Windows 10. Fx3 is compatible with Windows 10.

2. The hardware files for the interconnect board CYUSB3ACC-005 can be downloaded from the following link:

https://www.cypress.com/documentation/development-kitsboards/cyusb3acc-005-fmc-interconnect-board-ez...

After downloading the hardware files, you can understand how the different pins on FX3 are routed to the FMC connectors. The signals generated/sampled by SP605/SP701/AC701 should be provided to the same pins on the FMC connector so that they can be routed correctly to the corresponding pins on the FX3 device.
