Reflex CES Ares Agilex 7 SoM

Ares Agilex™ 7 FPGA SoC F-Series Module

The Ares SoM is an Agilex™ SoC F-Series system-on-module based on the Intel® Agilex™ 7 FPGA SoC F-Series FPGA. It offers flexibility and high-performance capabilities, allowing designers to implement complex algorithms and integrate multiple functions onto a single chip. This results in reduced power consumption, improved system performance, and advanced technology.

The Ares SoM is optimized for embedded applications and is delivered with an active heatsink, heat spreader, and fan. Using a module for an embedded system simplifies the design process, and time-to-market is reduced as pre-built and tested components can be easily integrated.

Target markets for the Agilex™ SoC F-Series module include Bioscience, High Precision Measurement, Radar Systems, and more. It is designed to cater to these industries' specific needs and requirements.

The module is equipped with Intel® Agilex™ 7 SoC F-Series FPGA technology, which is a general-purpose FPGA built on Intel's 10 nm SuperFin process. The FPGA offers high-capacity logic and memory storage, providing programmable logic and accelerator technologies to improve system performance while reducing power consumption. It can be programmed using embedded programming languages such as VHDL or Verilog and integrated into the system design using industry-standard interfaces like PCI Express (PCIe).

The SoC (system-on-chip) integrated within the FPGA provides further flexibility and integration, allowing the FPGA to better control the board. Reflex CES has incorporated essential components such as PCB, transceivers, power supply, JTAG, DDR4, Flash eMMC memory, and BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) for an embedded board designed specifically for the Intel Agilex FPGA.

Embedded programming plays a crucial role in developing embedded systems. Reflex CES designers carefully consider the FPGA chip's architecture and system design to ensure proper integration of the accelerator into the system. They utilize Intel® Quartus Prime development tools and leverage their firmware, hardware, and software expertise, along with a comprehensive documentation package and reference designs, to create their boards.

The Ares SoM reduces time to market for embedded projects and is compatible with Intel® Quartus Prime development tools. It complies with RoHS and REACH standards, demonstrating its adherence to environmental regulations.

The design of Reflex CES embedded systems follows industry standards and footprints to ensure seamless integration into the larger ecosystem. Standard interfaces and architectures enable efficient integration, and the system's footprint is carefully considered to meet size constraints. This approach results in efficient and effective embedded systems ready for the market.
