Description
ALINX AXKU042 is ALINX's 2nd Generation Xilinx Kintex UltraScale (XCKU040-2FFVA1156I) PCI Express Gen3 FPGA Development Board. Now with an ACKU040 SOM + much improved Carrier Board combination, this will certainly speed up your Industrial application design-to-market time.
AXKU042 is a High Performance PCIE3.0 x8 Card with XCKU040 FPGA. 2x 10G SFP+ enabling high signal processing bandwidth, 1x HPC + 2x LPC FMC offer rich expandability. Ideal for Packet processing, DSP-intensive (medical imaging), 8K/4K Video, and Heterogeneous Wireless Infrastructure.
