Kintex-7 FPGA Development Board
The NetFPGA-1G-CML is a versatile, low-cost network hardware development platform featuring a Xilinx Kintex-7 XC7K325T FPGA and includes four Ethernet interfaces capable of negotiating up to 1 GB/s connections. 512 MB of 800 MHz DDR3 can support high-throughput packet buffering while 4.5 MB of QDRII+ can maintain low-latency access to high demand data, like routing tables. Rapid boot configuration is supported by a 128 MB BPI Flash, which is also available for non-volatile storage applications. The standard PCIe form factor supports high-speed x4 Gen 2 interfacing. The FMC carrier connector provides a convenient expansion interface for extending card functionality via Select I/O and GTX serial interfaces. The FMC connector can support SATA-II data rates for network storage applications. The FMC connector can also be used to extend functionality via a wide variety of other cards designed for communication, measurement, and control.
The NetFPGA-1G-CML is designed to support the Stanford NetFPGA architecture with reference designs available through the NetFPGA GitHub Organization. It is fully compatible with Xilinx Vivado and ISE Design Suites as well as Xilinx SDK for embedded software design.
