The XpressSX AGI-FH400G Agilex™ I-Series SoC PCIe board is a full height, half length PCIe Gen5 Network Processing board, featuring the Agilex™ I-Series SoC FPGA and 400Gb Ethernet.
The Intel® Agilex™ board is based on an Intel® Agilex™ I-series SoC FPGA. This device is optimized for applications which are bandwidth intensive and require a high-performance processor interface, supported by the CXL™ standard interface, the PCIe Gen5 x16 interface, and transceiver tiles with data rates up to 116 Gbps.
The FPGA board is delivered with a 2-slot PCIe active heatsink and is specifically optimized for embedded applications.
REFLEX CES & CESNET collaborated to provide a complete solution for Network Security & Monitoring, Smart NIC and Networking Acceleration applications, through the Liberouter project.
The very first advantage of the Intel® Agilex™ board is the 400 Gigabit Ethernet capability, specially designed for SmartNIC applications.
The FPGA is an Intel® Agilex™ I-Series SoC device. Agilex™ delivers 2x better fabric performance per watt. Intel® Agilex™I-Series SoC FPGA devices also integrate the quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor to provide high system integration.
The Intel® Agilex™ I-Series FPGA has options to integrate Compute Express Link™ (CXL™), an open standard interconnect protocol for high-speed CPU-to-device and CPU-to-memory. This standard is built on the PCIe physical and electrical interface.
The FPGA delivers up to 40% lower power for applications in data center, networking, and edge compute.
FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) are used to offer a high capacity of logic and memory storage.
The System-on-chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit inside the FPGA, most often a CPU processor (central processing unit) and supporting peripherals, that provides more flexibility, integration, and allows the FPGA to better control the board.
Our Intel® Agilex™ board offers primary interfaces and components, such as 400 Gb Ethernet, PCIe Gen5 x16 (CXL™ compatible), HSI connectors (offering transceivers for the PCI Express), power supplies, USB 2.0 port (for JTAG, UART, BMC), high-speed transceivers, DDR4 (on-board and SO-DIMM) interfaces and more. Those components are from Intel ®, Micron Technology, Inc., STMicroelectronics and Cypress Semiconductor.
The Agilex™ board is full height, half length, 2-slot PCI Express form factor, specially designed to fit into various servers and chassis available on the market, and custom rack systems for embedded applications.
The Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, commonly known as PCI Express, is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. Our FPGA board offers up to three a x16 PCI Express slot or two CXL™ standard interface. Added to an Intel® Agilex™ SoC FPGA I-series, this allows our board to be quick and efficient.
Reduce time-to-market of your next embedded project with our Agilex™ SoC board, using the Intel® Quartus Prime development tools. Our board is supported by our firmware, hardware, and software skills and full documentation package and reference designs.
The Intel® Agilex™ board is RoHS and REACH standards compliant.
Our Intel® Agilex™ board is specially designed for our customers needs and specifications.

Additional PCIe Gen4 x16 daughter card
The XpressSX AGI-FH400G board needs to be inserted in a PCIe Gen5 compatible server in order to deliver the full PCIe Gen5 x16 performances.
In case the user is only using a PCIe Gen4 compatible server, the XpressSX AGI-FH400G is delivered with this PCIe Gen4 x16 daughter card. This way, the sytem will achieve 2x Gen4 x16 performances similar to PCIe Gen5 x16, using two R-Tile PCIe Hard IPs inside the FPGA.
The daughter card also supports x8x8 bifurcation mode.
