Hardware vs Simh (and FPGA)

In any case, you should be able to fit the 360/30 FPGA on the DE0, though you'll have to create the project file and do the pin assignments yourself. You'll also have to hack out any Xilinx-specific things in the VHDL if there are any, which is usually just PLLs and block RAMs in most smaller projects (there are other things that might be lurking, but they'd be unlikely in a project this size). I don't know about the /65, though; that's on a much bigger FPGA that has 110K equivalent LEs, and it uses PCI Express to communicate with the host PC to run as the channel. It doesn't have sizing info, but that project would definitely need significant mods to work with smaller boards. It might be a fun (if somewhat advanced) project to port it to work on the Zynq, since the built- in ARM would provide the functionality of the channel emulator quite nicely. No guarantees on whether the 360/65 part of it would fit in the FPGA, though, since there's no sizing info provided on the page (you could always try to download and build it, though the free software won't build for a Virtex5 that big; if you're really curious, I could build it with mine, since I have access to the full suite).
