WILDSTAR 6XV8 6U OpenVPX FPGA Processor – WS6XV8
The WILDSTAR 6XV8 integrates one of AMD Xilinx's new Versal™ Premium VP1702 FPGAs. It is 100GbE-enabled, SOSA-aligned, and highly rugged and thermally-controlled. This is the most cost and power optimized of our 6U Versal baseboards.
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 one Versal Premium VP1702 FPGA and have eight 32-bit LPDDR4 DRAM ports running up to 3732 MT/s.
There is also an on-board dual 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 6XV8 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.
