Terasic Apollo Agilex SOM

Terasic Agilex® SOM Accelerates AI Edge Applications

apollo agilex somDesigned for high-performance AI-enabled edge solutions and HPC solutions, Apollo Agilex SOM packs unbeatable performance optimization and provides the highest real-time compute/watts for edge AI applications.

Apollo Agilex SOM takes advantage of the latest Intel® Agilex® SoC with 1400K logic elements to obtain performance and power breakthrough (with up to 40% lower power than Stratix 10 series). Combining high-end hardware interfaces such as two high-capacity and high-bandwidth DDR4 SO-DIMM Sockets (up to 32GB DDR4), onboard QSFP28 connector, PCIe Gen 4x16 up to 25.8 Gbps/ch with carrier, on-board USB-Blaster II, and FMC/FMC+ connectors for I/O expansion, the board delivers more than 2X the performance of previous-generation development kits.

Key Features

  • Agilex® 1.4MLE FPGA with an integrated 1.4GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor system
  • Two 72-bit DDR4 ECC SODIMM sockets, microSD card socket, 1Gbits of QSPI configuration flash
  • On-board power regulators and board management system
  • On-board high-speed Interfaces:  FMC/FMC+, QSFP28, GigE, USB2, USB-UART, USB Blaster II
  • PCIe Gen4 x16 interface via the FMC+ connector
