Terasic's Intel Agilex FPGA development kit for testing PCIe 5.0 and CXL v1.1 designs
The Intel® Agilex™ I-Series FPGA Development Kit serves as a comprehensive prototyping and reference platform for designs requiring PCI Express 5.0, Compute Express Link (CXL) v1.1, or 400G Ethernet connectivity. This development kit enables engineers to develop and test PCIe 5.0 and CXL v1.1 designs, as well as high-speed Ethernet applications. The hardware components include an Intel Agilex I-Series FPGA Development Board with PCIe x16 Gen 5 golden finger connected to R-Tile transceivers, supporting PCIe, CXL, or PIPE modes. The kit also features DDR4 DIMMs sockets, QSFP-DD cages, MCIO connectors for additional connectivity, and includes essential software tools such as design examples, Board Update Portal, Board Test System, and Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition.
Features:
- PCIe 5.0 Development: Develop and test PCIe 5.0 designs with the PCI-Express form-factor compliant development board.
- CXL v1.1 Compatibility: Test and develop CXL v1.1 designs using applicable IP from Intel or third-parties.
- High-Speed Ethernet: Develop and test high-speed Ethernet applications with up to 400G total bandwidth.
- Versatile Connectivity: Connect to daughter-cards via MCIO connector/cable for additional options (not included).
- Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition: Includes a one-year license for the Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition design software.
