Legacy Product Notice:

This is a legacy product and is not recommended for new designs. It is still available for purchase, but development tools and software are no longer maintained for compatibility with the latest FPGA tools and operating systems. Minimum order quantities (MOQs) may apply. Contact BittWare for details.

Overview

Designed for compute acceleration of high-speed sensor data, the 520R-MX is a PCIe board featuring Intel’s Stratix 10 MX2100 FPGA with integrated HBM2 memory. The size and speed of HBM2 (up to 16GB at up to 512GB/s) enables acceleration of memory-bound applications. 48 optical receivers provide high-speed input to the FPGA, and OCuLink connectors allow expansion.

The 520R-MX features a Board Management Controller (BMC) for advanced system monitoring and control, which greatly simplifies platform integration and management.
