Overview
The Agilex 5G/Wireless development platform provides a quick evaluation and prototyping platform for 5G/Wireless solutions based on the Intel’s latest high performance 10nm Agilex F-Series FPGA. The development platform consists of two modules, an Agilex FPGA based main SOM (System On Module) board and a carrier board which implements breakout of the FPGA I/Os through high speed SOM connectors. The carrier module provides an FMC VITA57.1 connector for interfacing to a limited set of Analog Devices high speed ADC/DAC/MxFE FMC modules. In addition, the FMC carrier module also provides multiple networking interfaces to breakout the E-Tile high speed transceivers of the Agilex FPGA.
