▶ Overview

The Terasic Agilex 7 FPGA Starter Kit takes advantage of the latest Intel® Agilex™ 7 SoC FPGA F-Series devices with 2.7M logic elements, offering 50% higher fabric performance and 40% lower power consumption than equivalent Stratix® 10 devices.

The Terasic Agilex 7 FPGA Starter Kit combines a number of high-end hardware interfaces such as PCI Express 4.0 x8, one 100G QSFP-28 connector, on-board HDMI 2.1 output, along with up to 16GB of DDR4, to provide optimal acceleration and throughput for compute-intensive applications. In addition, the on-board FMC+ connector makes the board extensible and can work with various daughter cards, such as Terasic’s HDMI-FMC , XTS-FMC , 12G SDI-FMC , and P16E-FMCP daughter card.

The Agilex 7 FPGA Starter Kit also supports the Intel® oneAPI. Developers can customize their own unique acceleration workloads effortlessly by leveraging the Intel® Agilex™ FPGA on the Terasic Agilex 7 FPGA Starter Kit.
