WILDSTAR UltraKVP 2PE for 6U OpenVPX – WB6XU2
WILDSTAR™ UltraKVP 2PE for 6U OpenVPX boards include one or two Xilinx® Kintex® UltraScale™ XCKU115 or Virtex® UltraScale+™ XCVU5P/XCVU9P FPGAs with High Speed Serial connections performing up to 16.3 Gbps. There is also an on-board dual ARM Cortex-A9 Processor running up to 766 MHz which can be used for local application requirements without using PCIe bandwidth.

Each card has two WILD FMC+ (WFMC+) next generation IO sites based on FMC/FMC+ specification. While accepting standard FMC and FMC+ cards it also allows larger form factor Annapolis WFMC+ cards for higher IO density. WFMC+ supports 32 HSS and 100 LVDS IO for higher density ADC and DAC solutions as well as stacking two IO cards per site.
