Product description: AX7202 - FPGA development board - AMD Artix 7 XC7A200T
The ALINX AX7202 combines the AC7200 SoM with the AMD Artix 7 XC7A200T-2FBG484I processor and a carrier board equipped with a comprehensive set of interfaces. 1 GB DDR3 memory with a 32-bit interface supports large data streams, and 16 MB QSPI Flash provides configuration storage. Two SFP+ ports with up to 6.6 Gbps per lane and Gigabit Ethernet enable the creation of communication and networking devices. VGA output, a microSD port, USB 2.0, UART, and RS232 expand prototyping capabilities. Panasonic's modular design with four board-to-board connectors facilitates the development of custom FPGA- based devices, while buttons, LEDs, and expansion connectors support design testing and diagnostics.
