X86/ARM Industrial PC + K7 FPGA AI Data Processing Platform, Applicable to Radar and IF Signal Acquisition, Video Image Acquisition and Transmission, and Other Application Scenarios.

#架构#ARM+K7

Product Overview

This high-performance data pre-processing FMC carrier board is based on a PCI Express bus architecture. The board features one FMC (HPC) interface and one x8 PCIe host interface. It utilizes a Xilinx high-performance Kintex-7 series FPGA as the real-time processor to achieve data acquisition and processing from the FMC interface, as well as conversion for the PCI Express bus interface. An independent 64-bit DDR3 SDRAM large-capacity cache is onboard. By integrating different FMC daughter cards, this board can quickly establish a PCI Express bus-based verification platform. As a standard full-height, half-length PCIe card, it is suitable for use in PCIe industrial PCs and applicable to scenarios such as radar and IF signal acquisition, and video image acquisition and transmission.
