XEM8320

The XEM8320 is the official development platform for the AMD-Xilinx Artix UltraScale+ FPGA. The XEM8320 is supported by Opal Kelly’s FrontPanel SDK, enabling a new level of rapid prototype development and a path to production deployment with the associated XEM8310-AU25P module.

Six SYZYGY ports provide expansion capabilities with external peripherals for data acquisition, signal generation, digital communication, sensing, networking, and more.

Prototyping and OEM Integration

As a development platform, the XEM8320 is perfect for prototypes and proof-of-concept designs. For product integration and deployment, consider the companion XEM8310.
