SOSA Aligned 3U VPX Xilinx Versal 100GbE FPGA Board
The WILDSTAR 3XV7 from
Annapolis Microsystems integrates Xilinx's new Versal™ Premium VP1502 or VP1702 FPGA. It features optional 6x100G optical transceivers to VITA 66 backplane and optional front panel RS422/RS485 GPIO interface.
It is 100GbE-enabled, SOSA-aligned, and highly rugged and thermally-controlled.
These SOSA-aligned Plug-In Cards (PIC) include one Versal Premium VP1502/VP1702 FPGA and have five 32-bit LPDDR4 DRAM ports running up to 3700 MT/s.
There is also an on-board dual-core ARM CPU running up to 1.4 GHz which can be used for local application requirements. It is accessible over backplane PCIe or Ethernet and provides dedicated AXI interfaces to all FPGAs. It is also used to query board health like FPGA temperature and power. It is connected to the OpenVPX control plane via 1GbE.
The air-cooled 3XV7 is hot swappable, allowing for more system reliability. This feature is unique to Annapolis and was developed because our experience with OpenVPX systems has shown it invaluable, so a whole chassis does not need to be shutdown to remove a single board.
