hat is X5-210M?
The X5- 210M is a PCI Express XMC IO module featurin four TI ADS5547 provide 210 MSPS, 14-bit A/D data.
A Xilinx Virtex5 SX95T with 512 MByte DDR2 DRAM and 4MB QDR-II memory provide a very hi h performance DSP
core for demandin applications such as emer in wireless standards. The close inte ration of the analo IO, memory and
host interface with the FPGA enables real-time si nal processin at extremely hi h rates exceedin 300 GMACs per second.
The X5 XMC modules couple Innovative's powerful Velocia architecture with a hi h performance, 8-lane PCI Express
interface that provides over 1 GB/s sustained transfer rates to the host. Private links to host cards with > 1.6 GB/s capacity
usin J16 are provided for system inte ration. The X5 family can be fully customized usin VHDL and MATLAB usin the
FrameWork Lo ic toolset. The MATLAB BSP supports real-time hardware-in-the-loop development usin the raphical,
block dia ram Simulink environment with Xilinx System Generator.
Software tools for host development include C++ libraries and drivers for Windows and Linux. Application examples
demonstratin the module features and use are provided.
hat is Malibu?
Malibu is the Innovative Inte ration-authored component suite, which combines with the Borland, Microsoft or GNU C++
compilers and IDEs to support pro rammin of Innovative hardware products under Windows and Linux. Malibu supports
both hi h-speed data streamin plus asynchronous mailbox communications between the DSP and the Host PC, plus a wealth
of Host functions to visualize and post-process data received from or to be sent to the tar et DSP.
hat is C++ Builder?

hat is wx idgets?
wxWid ets was started in 1992 by Julian Smart at the University of Edinbur h. Initially started as a project for creatin
applications portable across Unix and Windows, it has rown to support the Mac platform, WinCE, and many other toolkits
and platforms. The number of developers contributin to the project is now in the dozens and the toolkit has a stron userbase
that includes everyone from open source developers to corporations such as AOL. So what is special about wxWid ets
compared with other cross-platform GUI toolkits?
wxWid ets ives you a sin le, easy-to-use API for writin GUI applications on multiple platforms that still utilize the native
platform's controls and utilities. Link with the appropriate library for your platform (Windows/Unix/Mac, others comin
shortly) and compiler (almost any popular C++ compiler), and your application will adopt the look and feel appropriate to
that platform. On top of reat GUI functionality, wxWid ets ives you: online help, network pro rammin , streams,
clipboard and dra and drop, multithreadin , ima e loadin and savin in a variety of popular formats, database support,
HTML viewin and printin , and much more.
hat is Microsoft MSVC?
MSVC is a eneral-purpose code-authorin environment suitable for development of Windows applications of any type.
Armada extends the MSVC IDE throu h the addition of dynamically created MSVC-compatible C++ classes specifically
tailored to perform real-time data streamin functions.
hat kinds of applications are possible with Innovative Integration hardware?
Data acquisition, data lo in , stimulus-response and si nal processin jobs are easily solved with Innovative Inte ration
baseboards usin the Malibu software. There are a wide selection of peripheral devices available in the Matador DSP
product family, for all types of si nals from DC to RF frequency applications, video or audio processin . Additionally,
multiple Innovative Inte ration baseboards can be used for a lar e channel or mixed requirement systems and data
acquisition cards from Innovative can be inte rated with Innovative's other DSP or data acquisition baseboards for hi h-
performance si nal processin .
hy do I need to use Malibu with my Baseboard?
One of the bi est issues in usin the personal computer for data collection, control, and communications applications is the
relatively poor real-time performance associated with the system. Despite the hi h computational power of the PC, it cannot
reliably respond to real-time events at rates much faster than a few hundred hertz. The PC is really best at processin data,
not collectin it. In fact, most modern operatin systems like Windows are simply not focused on real-time performance, but
rather on ease of use and convenience. Word processin and spreadsheets are simply not hi h-performance real-time tasks.
The solution to this problem is to provide specialized hardware assistance responsible solely for real- time tasks. Much the
same as a dedicated video subsystem is required for adequate display performance, dedicated hardware for real-time data
collection and si nal processin is needed. This is precisely the focus of our baseboards – a hi h performance, state-of-the-
art, dedicated di ital si nal processor coupled with real-time data I/O capable of flowin data via a 64-bit PCI bus interface.
The hardware is really only half the story. The other half is the Malibu software tool set which uses state of the art software
techniques to brin our baseboards to life in the Windows environment. These software tools allow you to create applications
for your baseboard that encompass the whole job - from hi h speed data acquisition, to the user interface.

Windows Installation
This chapter describes the software and hardware installation procedure for the Windows platform (WindowsXP and Vista).
Do NOT install the hardware card into your system at this time. This will follow the software
installation.
Host Hardware Requirements
The software development tools require an IBM or 100% compatible Pentium IV - class or hi her machine for proper
operation. An Intel-brand processor CPU is strongly recommended, since AMD and other “clone” processors are not
uaranteed to be compatible with the Intel MMX and SIMD instruction-set extensions which the Armada and Malibu Host
libraries utilize extensively to improve processin performance within a number of its components. The host system must
have at least 128 Mbytes of memory (256MB recommended), 100 Mbytes available hard disk space, and a DVD-ROM
drive. Windows2000 or WindowsXP (referred to herein simply as Windows) is required to run the developer’s packa e
software, and are the tar et operatin systems for which host software development is supported.
Software Installation
The development packa e installation pro ram will uide you throu h the installation process.
Note: Before installin the host development libraries (VCL components or MFC classes), you must
have Microsoft MSVC Studio (version 9 or later) and/or Code ear RAD Studio C++ (version 11)
installed on your system, dependin on which of these IDEs you plan to use for Host development. If
you are plannin on usin these environments, it is imperative that they are tested and known-
operational before proceedin with the library installation. If these items are not installed prior to
runnin the Innovative Inte ration install, the installation pro ram will not permit installation of the
associated development libraries. However, drivers and DLLs may be installed to facilitate field
deployment.
You must have Administrator Privileges to install and run the software/hardware onto your system, refer to the Windows
documentation for details on how to et these privile es.

IMPORTANT: Many of our hi h speed cards, especially the PMC and XMC Families, require forced
air from a fan on the board for coolin . Operatin the board without proper airflow may lead to
improper functionin , poor results, and even permanent physical dama e to the board. These boards
also have temperature monitorin features to check the operatin temperature. The board may also be
desi ned to intentionally fail on over-temperature to avoid permanent dama e. See the specific
hardware information for airflow requirements.
