A Pre-Built FPGA Production Card

If you’re an FPGA developer seeking to deploy in a PCIe® form factor, AMD Alveo™ accelerators can propel you through the design cycle faster with an out-of-the-box ready system. Using a pre-validated deployment card with 3-year warranty, you can bypass PCB integration, inventory management, and product lifecycle management tasks when compared to a component-based approach.

Developers can now easily get started with a pre-validated base design that maps directly to Alveo hardware, providing all the infrastructure needed for a PCIe system. Developers can jump-start their design with an implementation-ready Vivado project using traditional RTL and IP Integrator flows across a broad portfolio of Alveo accelerator cards.

IP Catalog

A vast catalog of production-qualified IP is available for Alveo cards. Using a modular-based design flow, you can leverage pre-optimized building blocks and subsystems while focusing on your own hardware differentiation.

Reference Design

AMD provides a comprehensive open source NIC reference design—OpenNIC—to simplify FPGA development for applications with network and host-connectivity. Supported on Alveo accelerator cards, OpenNIC provides a standard set of hardware IP blocks for external interfaces as well as AXI-based integration of custom IP.

OpenNIC is available now as open source on GitHub .
