AGILITY RC340

Desktop platform for multimedia and network applications prototyping

The RC340 Desktop Platform features dual Gigabit Ethernet and Dual Video support to enable the evaluation and development of high-performance, high-throughput multimedia and networked data applications. Fitted with a Xilinx Virtex-4 LX FPGA, the RC340 is ideally suited to high speed video and data applications using FPGA and soft-core microprocessor technology.

RC340 - High-end desktop platform with dual-channel peripherals supporting rapid multimedia and network applications prototyping

To accommodate high throughput algorithms, the RC430 provides a large FPGA with direct access to 4 banks of ZBT SRAM (totaling 32Mbytes) and a DIMM socket for customer-provided SDRAM.

High performance video, including stereoscopic video applications are enabled by the dual video inputs & outputs, including both digital video to the DVI standard and analogue video.

Having dual Gigabit Ethernet MAC/PHYs and 10/100/1000baseT sockets provides capability for data streaming, data distribution and high performance network applications.

As well as high-speed Ethernet the board also offers a USB 2.0 connection for high-speed bit file download and for host to FPGA application communications.

To assist with debug, application status reporting and user interaction, the board has 8 user-programmable LEDs and a 4 line * 16 character LCD display.

To complete the capabilities the board has Audio in/out, including SPDIF digital out, PS2 keyboard and mouse connectors and dual RS232 ports.
