Ethernet FMC supports Xilinx Dev Boards

Support for the Xilinx Series-7 development boards AC701, KC705, VC707, ZC702 and ZC706 has been added to the Ethernet FMC product page. Now you can use the Ethernet FMC on any one of these boards and support up to 8 x gigabit Ethernet ports! That’s right, the KC705, VC707 and ZC702 have two FMC connectors allowing you to plug in two Ethernet FMCs, enabling 8 independent ports. AC701 - supports 1 x Ethernet FMC (4-ports) KC705 - supports 2 x Ethernet FMCs (8-ports) VC707 - supports 2 x Ethernet FMCs (8-ports) VC709 - supports 1 x Ethernet FMC (4-ports) ZC702 - supports 2 x Ethernet FMCs, but there’s only enough FPGA resources to configure the 8 MACs with FIFOs (not DMAs).

Ethernet FMC first units shipped

Today I’m excited to announce that the first Ethernet FMCs were shipped! I would like to say thanks to all those who pre-ordered the Ethernet FMC, thanks for your patience and confidence and I hope the product enables you to develop new and exciting technologies in the networking space. I’ve had an insanely busy last few weeks trying to organize the production of the boards, testing the boards, as well as working out the packaging, labeling and shipping materials. [Read More]

Ethernet FMC is now available

Ethernet FMC is now available
Announcing that the new Ethernet FMC, a Quad Gigabit Ethernet FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) is now available to buy. The board is designed for easy integration with the ZedBoard, with open-source example designs so you can start designing your product sooner. The low-pin-count FMC features 4 Marvell PHYs, a 125MHz oscillator and a quad RJ45 with integrated magnetics. The Ethernet FMC is compliant to the Vita 57.1 FMC standard except for its height (due to the RJ45 connector) and its length. [Read More]

Introducing the Quad Gigabit Ethernet FMC

Introducing the Quad Gigabit Ethernet FMC
Here’s the next product in Opsero’s growing lineup of FPGA I/O cards: the Quad Gigabit Ethernet FMC. This low-pin-count FMC is loaded with four Marvell Gigabit Ethernet PHYs and enables FPGA networking applications on the ZedBoard and other LPC carriers. A demo design for the ZedBoard is available on Github at the link below and further demos will become available in the next few weeks: https://github.com/fpgadeveloper/zedboard-qgige Look out for more details including the technical specs, schematics and more on the soon to be launched product page.
