VC707 Evaluation Board Features
Overview
The VC707 evaluation board for the Virtex®-7 FPGA provides a hardware environment for
developing and evaluating designs targeting the Virtex-7 XC7VX485T-2FFG1761C FPGA.
The VC707 board provides features common to many embedded processing systems,
including a DDR3 SODIMM memory, an 8-lane PCI Express® interface, a tri-mode
Ethernet PHY, general purpose I/O, and two UART interfaces. Other features can be
added by using mezzanine cards attached to either of two VITA-57 FPGA mezzanine
connectors (FMC) provided on the board. Two high pin count (HPC) FMCs are provided.
