Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit (2x R-Tile and 1x F-Tile)

Altera

The Agilex 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit is a high-performance platform designed for evaluating and prototyping PCIe 5.0, CXL, and high-speed networking applications. It provides a complete development environment with integrated tools for configuration, diagnostics, and performance monitoring. The kit includes onboard DDR4 memory, programmable clocks, and a robust power management system, making it ideal for memory-intensive and bandwidth-demanding workloads.

This kit was designed for connectivity by including dual QSFPDD ports for up to 400 Gbps aggregate throughput, PCIe 5.0 and CXL x16 via edge connectors and MCIO ports, and multiple I/O interfaces including USB, I2C, and UART. The inclusion of both onboard and external JTAG programming options, along with a comprehensive GUI suite, ensures developers can quickly bring up and validate designs. Whether used in a PCIe system or standalone on the bench, this kit delivers the flexibility and performanc...
