Embedded optical development platform delivers FPGA solutions

Embedded optical development platform combines the latest FPGA solutions from REFLEX CES with the FireFly Micro Flyover System from Samtec. The Sargon Stratix 10 FPGA FMC+ Instant Development Kit from REFLEX CES provides FPGA developers the best out-of-the-box experience, combining the best in class compact hardware platform with the most efficient intuitive software environment. Its install allows an immediate start and its reference designs enable fast turn-around designs, shortening and securing developments.

Samtec’s 25/28 Gbps FireFly FMC+ Development Kit provides up to 448Gbps full-duplex bandwidth over 16 channels from an FPGA to an industry-standard multi-mode fiber optic cable or optical loopbacks. The FireFly optical engines can support cable lengths up to 100m. The module supports Data Center, HPC and FPGA-to-FPGA protocols including Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel and Aurora.
