The Opal Kelly XEM7001 is an FPGA development board based on a AMD-Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA (XC7A15T-1FTG256C). In addition to a high gate-count FPGA, the XEM7001 utilizes the high transfer rate of USB 2.0 for configuration downloads, enabling an almost instant reprogramming of the FPGA. The XEM7001 features flexible clocking with a multi-output clock generator that can generate clock frequencies from 1 MHz to 150 MHz. If higher frequencies are needed, the clock multipliers in the FPGA can be used.

FrontPanel™ SDK

Opal Kelly’s FrontPanel SDK is an easy-to-use, robust API for communication, configuration, and interfacing to your PC, Mac or Linux hardware. FrontPanel handles all the interaction between your software and the FPGA internals, dramatically reducing the time and effort required to interface to a design.

FlashPrototyping and OEM Integration

Opal Kelly FPGA integration modules are designed to be the ideal turnkey solution for prototypes and OEM product integration. With the complete FrontPanel SDK, there’s simply no faster, more reliable, production-ready way to jump start your FPGA design.

Features

Icon

FRONTPANEL VIRTUAL INTERFACE

Virtual interface elements such as buttons, LEDs, and hex displays make cumbersome "I/O Boards" a thing of the past.

Icon

ABUNDANT I/O

90 I/Os and 4 CLK pins are all arranged on a common 0.1" grid for easy prototyping.

Icon

32 Mib SPI SERIAL FLASH

A 32-Mbit SPI Serial Flash device is included for FPGA configuration or general data storage. An on-board switch lets you choose between USB or Flash for FPGA configuration, enabling full stand-alone operation. USB communication via FrontPanel is available in either mode.

Icon

MULTI-OUTPUT PLL

The on-board PLL provides flexible clocking to the FPGA and expansion connectors.
