KCU105 Evaluation Board Features
Overview
The KCU105 evaluation board for the Xilinx
®
Kintex
®
UltraScale
™
FPGA provides a hardware
environment for developing and evaluating designs targeting the UltraScale
XCKU040-2FFVA1156E device. The KCU105 evaluation board provides features common to
many evaluation systems, including a DDR4 component memory, a high definition
multimedia interface (HDMI
™
), two small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) connectors, an
eight-lane PCI Express
®
interface, an Ethernet PHY, general purpose I/O, and two UART
interfaces. Other features can be added by using VITA-57 FPGA mezzanine cards (FMCs)
attached to the low pin count (LPC) FMC and high pin count (HPC) FMC connectors.
