WILDSTAR 6XV2 6U OpenVPX FPGA Processor – WB6XV2
The WILDSTAR 6XV2 integrates two of Xilinx's new Versal™ Premium VP1502 or VP1702 FPGAs. It is 100GbE-enabled, SOSA-aligned, and highly rugged and thermally-controlled.
Need the same Versal power and SOSA alignment and 100GbE capability in a smaller package? See the WILDSTAR 3XV1 3U OpenVPX Board.

These FPGA boards are SOSA-aligned Plug-In Cards (PIC). They include two Versal Premium VP1502/VP1702 FPGAs and have eight 32-bit LPDDR4 DRAM ports running up to 3700 MT/s.
If IO is required, Annapolis offers extraordinary density, bandwidth and analog conversion choices. Each card has two next generation mezzanine sites that are optimized for JESD-based ADCs and DACs. Based on FMC/FMC+ specification, it allows larger form factor cards for higher IO density. VITA 66/67 optical/RF backplane support is included.
There is also an on-board quad ARM CPU running up to 1.4 GHz which can be used for local application requirements. It is accessible over backplane PCIe or Ethernet and provides dedicated AXI interfaces to all FPGAs. It is also used to query board health like FPGA temperature and power. It is connected to the OpenVPX control plane via 1 or 10GbE.
WILDSTAR 6XV2 6U OpenVPX FPGA Processor boards are hot swappable in air cooled environments allowing for more system reliability. This feature is unique to Annapolis and was developed because our experience with OpenVPX systems has shown it invaluable, so a whole chassis does not need to be shutdown to remove a single board.
