Xilinx Virtex 6 HXT x8PCIe Mantaro Development Platform

Mantaro HTG-V6HXT-x8PCIe is a PCI Express Gen2 module supporting x8 PCIe connectivity, thus, enabling 40Gbps optical interface including 40Gbps Ethernet (using 4x10Gbps SFP+ optical transceivers). Maximum PCI throughput is limited to 32Gbps.

Additionally, ten 11.18Gbps/link capable HXT links on the FMC connector allows the HTG-V6HXT-x8PCIe module to be used as an evaluation platform for the 100Gbps Ethernet/OTN solutions.

We also offer a pre-developed Framework / BSP specifically targeted for this board that will save valuable time and money in any development using this board.

Key features of the HTG-V6HTX-x8PCIe module are:
• Single Xilinx Virtex6 HX380T or HX565T FPGA
• x8 PCI Express Edge Connector (Gen2 PCIe)
• 4 SFP+ ports
• Two with EDC support through an external PHY chip supporting short, medium, and long range optical interface.
• Two directly connected to the FPGA's GTH (10G) serial transceivers
• 2 64-bit DDR3 SODIMM memory
• 2 18-bit QDR-II+ memory
• 576Mb 1T-SRAM (serial memory)
• 2 FMC Connectors
• FMC #A: 9 LVDS IOs and 10 GTH (11.18 Gbps) Serial IOs
• FMC #B: 34 LVDS IOs and 10 GTX (6.6 Gbps) Serial IOs
• Configuration through JTAG or CPLD
• USB to UART controller
• ATX and DC power supplies for PCI Express and stand alone operations
