Download the demo bundle
IMPORTANT: The Xillybus IP core in the demo bundle is configured for simplicity rather than performance. Significantly better results can be achieved for applications requiring a sustained and continuous data flow, in particular for high-bandwidth cases. It's therefore recommended to build your own custom IP core after finishing the flow with the demo bundle.
You need to download two items, one from each of the two bundle groups below (or the FPGA bundle only, if certain Linux distributions are chosen). Please refer to the "getting started" guides in the documentation page afterwards.
The FPGA bundle:
The following table lists the boards for which an out-of-the box demo bundle is available.

(*) For Virtex-7 XT and HT (except 7VX485T), pick the bundle for Gen3. For all other Virtex-7 FPGA, the Gen2 bundle.
(**) Please refer to this page for best practices on achieving the desired bandwidth. For information about the bandwidth limits, please refer to this page. There's also a page about latency.
(***) Revision B/XL/XXL cores with data rates up to 6.6 GB/s are available for selected devices upon request. Click here to read more.
Code bundle for the host:
Xillybus works out of the box with most Linux distribtions. Also, Xillybus' driver is included in Linux kernel sources from 3.12.0 and later, and is typically enabled and ready for use in precompiled kernels and module sets.
- Click here to download the driver for Windows 7 and later (32/64 bit).
- Click here to download the Linux driver, udev file and a sample C applications.
Additional downloads:
- The Xillybus package for Windows is recommended for testing Xillybus on a Windows host.
