Extensible Framework (EFW) For Xilinx KC705 Module

Overview

Extensible FPGA Framework (EFW) provides a verified set of productivity
solutions, including module targeted physical interface components, device
drivers and APIs for the Xilinx’s KC705 module.
EFW enables the end user to skip the tedious and time consuming phase of module bring-up by providing module targeted and hardware verified physical interfaces for the KC705. Thus, an end user can concentrate its design and development efforts on target applications instead of the module specific details.

Key Features

  • Framework includes KC705 hardware verified RTL blocks for:
  • Field Upgradeable (FUp) flash controller for in-system field upgradeability of the FPGA image through PCIe interface
  • x4 and x8 PCIe Gen2 hard IP block with PCIe application interface and arbiter
  • AXI4-Lite master/arbiter for distributed control and configuration of various EFW blocks
    • 1600 Mbps DDR3 controller
    • MDIO and I2C controllers
    • DRP controller for run-time control and configuration of the transceivers
  • Time limited (15min) synthesizable binaries and full simulation libraries for KC705 hardware verified Ethernet solutions up to 40Gbps:
  • 40Gbps Ethernet using the optical interface FMC (HTG-FMC-SFP-OC) with QSFP+ interface
  • 10Gbps Low Latency Ethernet using the integrated SFP+ interface 10/100/1G Triple-Speed Ethernet using the integrated RJ-45 interface
  • Time limited (15min) synthesizable binaries and full simulation libraries for KC705 hardware verified Multi-channel (4) scatter-gather block DMA controller
  • All modules with industry standard AXI-4 streaming interface for data path and AXI-4 Lite interface for control, configuration and memory interface
  • Top level RTL interface wrapper for custom user design block for easy implementation of user logic
  • Linux device drivers and API for PCIe interface
  • A single unified GUI for the entire EFW with custom scripting support

Benefits

  • Shorter Time to market
  • All the Module Interfaces already verified
