I'm playing with the idea of interfacing a BeagleBone (cheap dual ARM Cortex A8 board) to a Xilinx KC705 Kintex development board. This will give me much more CPU processing power than a microblaze could.
I thought I could probably do it with a passive interface because the Kintex can deal with 3.3 Volt I/O.
I'd probably use a Xilinx 105 debug board on the FMC HPC connector, and hand build an interface board between the debug board and the BeagleBone.
That would leave the LPC connector free for an Avnet HDMI input board (I'm playing around with some video processing / measurement ideas).
I would then develop a Angstrom Linux driver for the TI GPMC interface to the Kintex.
Anybody see any flaws in this plan? Any advice? Anybody done some / all of this already, and prepared to share so that I don't need to re-invent the wheel?
Thanks
Pete
