Xilinx Virtex™ 5  FX70T, FX100T 4-Lane PCI Express Gen. 2  Development Board

                      

Powered by Xilinx Virtex-5 FX70T or LX155T, this platform is designed to support 4-Lane  PCI Express Gen 2, DDR-3 (component), DDR-2 SO-DIMM (mounted on the back side), data-rate-adjustable RocketIO GTP/GTX transceivers (with super clock),  flexible LVDS connections, and stand-alone capability.

The on-board Super Clock provides different reference clocks across eight RocketIO GTP transceivers. This provides a flexible platform for any serial IO based developments. :
