To implement custom interfaces using VX3830, the customer

develops his IP using Xilinx® tools, and designs a specific FMC. The

FPGA image is loaded from a Flash on VX3830 or on the FMC.

A rescue FLASH is also present to ease developments and secure

deployments.

VX3830 features a Xilinx® Virtex®-5 FPGA (XC5VLX20T) featuring a

PCIe endpoint and User I/Os. VX3830 connects its FPGA endpoint

to the backplane through a x4 PCIe gen 2 channel (P1 Wafers 1 to 4

is default build option). Selection between x4 or x1 PCIe width is

user configurable.

VX3830 is available as a Convection Cooled or Conduction Cooled

3U VPX payload board. It requires +5 V and +12 V power supply rails.

VX3830 is a member of Kontron’s VPX Ecosystem and is qualified

with VX3230 and VX3030 SBCs. Kontron also offers a VITA 57 FMC

slot on VME products.

Kontron also offers a development kit containing: FMC-SER0 a

sample FMC with wrapping areas, a simple FPGA IP and a Linux

rpm with drivers, utilities and test programs. This kit allows non

regression tests and is the base for customized derivative work.
