Description

The VF365 is a 3U OpenVPX module that leverages on Intel Arria® 10 SoC FPGA and Texas Instruments KeyStone Multicore DSP technology to provide an ultra-high bandwidth processing platform, ideally suited for computation and bandwidth-intensive applications such as Radar, SIGINT, EW, SDR, Networking and Video.

The Arria® 10 SoC high-performance FPGA fabric provides abundant logic, internal memory and floating-point DSP resources for demanding applications in the industrial, aerospace and other markets.

The hard processor system (HPS) with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor, on-chip cache, system peripherals and hard memory interfaces provides additional software processing, tightly coupled with the FPGA through high-performance AXI bus bridges.
