The XPedite2470 is a high-performance, reconfigurable, conduction- or air-cooled, 3U VPX, FPGA processing module based on the Xilinx Virtex-7 family of FPGAs. With multiple high-speed fabric interfaces, external memory, Virtex-7 FPGA, an FMC site, and high-density I/O, the XPedite2470 is ideal for customizable, high-bandwidth, signal-processing applications.The XPedite2470’s DDR3L SDRAM and flexible I/O routing makes it perfect for high-speed, bandwidth-intensive, data-streaming applications. The card provides numerous I/O capabilities through its FMC daughter card interface, allowing access to single-ended and differential I/O and configurable GTX transceivers. An FMC daughter card can expand the capabilities of the XPedite2470 by providing technologies such as Digital Signal Processing (DSP), high-frequency Digital-to-Analog Conversion (DAC), and high-frequency Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC).The XPedite2470 supports a high-performance Freescale P1010 QorIQ processor. With a Power Architecture® e500 core running at up to 800 MHz, the P1010 provides hybrid signal processing with the combination of an FPGA and a general-purpose processor on one 3U VPX module. With the flexibility of the FMC interface, high-speed streaming data can be brought directly into the FPGA and processed, then transferred over a high-speed PCIe interface to the P1010 processor for further processing and analysis.The XPedite2470 provides a high-performance, feature-rich solution capable of interfacing to and processing streaming data from a wide variety of sensors. The X-ES FPGA Development Kit (FDK) is provided to support the requirements of high-performance, real-time, embedded streaming data applications and simplify FPGA development. It includes IP blocks, example FPGA designs, and software to control and communicate with FPGAs. A Linux Board Support Package (BSP) is available.
