Use this Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series FPGA Development Kit to:
Develop and test PCIe 5.0 x16 (up to 32 GT/s per lane) designs using the PCI-Express form-factor compliant development board using applicable IP from Intel or third-parties*.
Develop and test CXL v1.1/2.0 x16 designs using the applicable IP from Intel or third-parties.
Develop and test high-speed Ethernet (up to 400G total bandwidth) using the applicable IP from Intel or third-parties.
Connect to daughter-cards via MCIO connector/cable for additional connectivity or memory options (not included in purchase. Contact Intel for more details.).
*
The Intel® FPGA CXL IP is licensed separately. Contact your local Intel salesperson for IP variant options and pricing details.
