VC709 Evaluation Board Features
Overview
The VC709 evaluation board for the Virtex®-7 FPGA provides a hardware environment for
developing and evaluating designs targeting the Virtex-7 XC7VX690T-2FFG1761CES
FPGA. The VC709 board provides features common to many embedded processing
systems, including dual DDR3 small outline dual-inline memory module (SODIMM)
memories, an 8-lane PCI Express® interface, general purpose I/O, and a UART interface.
Other features can be added by using mezzanine cards attached to the VITA-57 FPGA
mezzanine connector (FMC) provided on the board. A high pin count (HPC) FMC is
provided. See
