KC705 Evaluation Board Features
Overview
The KC705 evaluation board for the Kintex®-7 FPGA provides a hardware environment for
developing and evaluating designs targeting the Kintex-7 XC7K325T-2FFG900C FPGA. The
KC705 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 a UART interface. Other features can be added by using FPGA
Mezzanine Cards (FMCs) attached to either of two VITA-57 FPGA mezzanine connectors
provided on the board. High pin count (HPC) and low pin count (LPC) FMCs are provided.
See KC705 Board Features for a complete list of features. The details for each feature are
described in Feature Descriptions, page 9.
