AC701 Evaluation Board Features

Overview

The AC701 evaluation board for the Artix®-7 FPGA provides a hardware environment for
developing and evaluating designs targeting the Artix-7 XC7A200T-2FBG676C FPGA. The
AC701 board provides features common to many embedded processing systems,
including a DDR3 SODIMM memory, an 4-lane PCI Express® interface, a tri-mode
Ethernet PHY, 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 connector is provided. See
