The PICMG® CompactPCI® Serial and the PICMG® CompactPCI® Express (PXI Express) are two adapter solutions for high speed performance FPGA into open PICMG standards, from EKF.

The SA4-COUNTRY and EA4-COUNTRY are peripheral slot boards for PICMG® CompactPCI® Serial systems and acts as carrier for a low profile PCI Express® Card. The SA4-COUNTRY and EA4-COUNTRY are provided with a PCI Express® x8 connector (option x4, x1) and accommodates a PCIe® card with maximum dimensions of up to 176mm (length) x 68.9mm (height).

The solutions are using REFLEX CES’ Low Profile PCIe board XpressGXA10-LP1151B as PCI Express based FPGA board.

The PICMG® CompactPCI® Serial solution is also using the REFLEX CES Low-Profile PCIe Board XpressVUP as PCI Express based FPGA board.

The Industrial AI accelerator is using the nearbAI FPGA IP core from easics, and REFLEX CES Achilles Arria 10® SoC module (Lite, Turbo or Indus version).

This Industrial AI accelerator will help you deploy your AI model inside your embedded application. 

Your model and the constraints of your application like speed, latency, power consumption and cost defines the right FPGA SoM as inference engine. The easics software tools will convert the model and the weights into an FPGA build file that is ready to deploy on the chosen FPGA hardware.

This solution demonstrates AI Model recognition :

• Real-time FPGA-based solution
• Demo running Yolo v3 DNN
• Recognizes up to 80 different objects

Design Gateway’s SATA IP core provides a link layer to implement SATA channels to Intel FPGAs. It supports SATA 3.0 (6Gbps) SSDs. It can connect to SSD/HDD without external PHY chips. The IP core includes a reference design for the REFLEX CES Alaric Arria 10 board to shorten development time.

Design Gateway’s NVMe Host Controller IP is designed to connect directly with Ultra High Speed NVMe SSDs without a CPU, OS, device driver or external DDR memory. It’s the best solution for applications which require ultra high speed performance, multi channel NVMe interfaces and compact systems. The IP core includes a reference design for the REFLEX CES Alaric Arria 10 board to shorten development time.

The MIL-STD1553 solution, developed by Nolam Embedded Systems and composed of the MIL-STD1553 IP CORE NES-IPCORE-M1553, the FMC Mezzanine module NES-FMC1553 and the FPGA-based board of REFLEX CES, Achilles Arria® 10 SoC SoM, provides a complete integrated MIL-STD1553 solution, for Aerospace and Defense applications.

The solution that implements Avionic interfaces like MIL-STD1553 on an FPGA brings a longer life cycle and more flexibility compared to dedicated avionics components.

In addition, with the architecture of the Achilles Arria® 10 board and Nolam FMCs & IP COREs, we can offer a standalone multiprotocol avionic solution (MIL-STD1553, ARINC429, ARINC825,AFDX ...).

The Enyx Development Framework (nxFramework) is a hardware and software development environment designed to efficiently build and maintain ultra-low latency FPGA applications for the financial industry.

Aimed at reducing development time through standardizing the core IP blocks needed to build any FPGA-based trading platform, nxFramework enables developers to focus on optimizing their business logic and minimize their time-to-production. Any skilled FPGA developer starting a new low latency project, maintaining an existing one, or looking to change platforms can and should use nxFramework.

The nxFramework is a certified hardware platform for REFLEX CES boards, and has been already developed for the XpressGXA10-LP1150T and XpressGXA10-LP1151B boards.

The ALSE Aurora 64B/66B IP core is a very compact and optimized implementation of the Aurora 64B/66B protocol. Aurora 64B/66B is a lightweight and open protocol suitable for chip-to-chip, board-to-board and backplane applications using very high speed transceivers.

Compared to the 8B/10B version of the Aurora protocol, the 64B/66B flavor addresses the highest lanes speeds (when 8B/10B typically stops around 6 GBs per lane).
It also offers an effective bandwidth of up to 97%, instead of 80% for 8B/10B.

The IP therefore provides an efficient way to interconnect Intel and Xilinx FPGAs, or any other chip (ASIC, ASSP, etc …) using the Aurora 64B/66B protocol.

The Aurora 64B/66B IP core has been developed and tested for the REFLEX CES XpressGXS10-FH800G board.
