Silicom FPGA SmartNIC N6010/6011 (N6001-PL/N6000-PL Arrow Creek)

Powered by the Agilex™ AGFB014 FPGA with on-chip Hard Processor System, the N6010/N6011 supports two QSFP28/56 modules delivering flexible multi-rate connectivity (2×100GbE, 4×25GbE, or 8×10GbE) and interfaces with host systems via PCIe Gen4 x16 (or bifurcated x8/x8, for N6011). The cards feature Dual channel PLL for supporting SyncE and PTP/IEEE-1588. The FPGA support HPS and have dedicated DDR4 for this purpose. I addition it has 4x4GB DDR4 mounted for the FPGA logic.

The N6011 is tailored for mobile and telecom workloads—including 4G/5G vRAN (O-RAN LLS-C1/C2) with functional splits such as CPRI or eCPRI, network function virtualization (NFV), MEC, video transcoding, cybersecurity, high-performance computing, and financial applications. The N6011 version includes an Intel® e810-CAM2 NIC for enhanced interfacing. It also supports Intel’s Open FPGA Stack (OFS) for streamlined development via common interface, drivers, APIs, and pre-built images, and is v...
