MitySOM-A5E Development KitDevelopment Kit for MitySOM-A5E Module based on Altera Agilex 5 FPGA with up to 656KLE fabric and 24 transceiver pairs

Product status: Prototypes Available Soon

Overview

 

The MitySOM-A5E Development Kit features a 32mm x 32mm package Altera Agilex 5 FPGA and supports Critical Link’s MitySOM-A5E system on modules.

Each Development Kit comes complete with all the connectivity needed in any application well suited for the MitySOM-A5E, including DisplayPort, USB 3.1 Gen 1, Gigabit Ethernet, two SFP+ (supporting up to 10 Gb Ethernet), four x4 lane MIPI CSI camera inputs, and PCIe 4.0. Additionally, the development kit is equipped with a USB-C console interface, Micro-SD card storage, and a LPC FMC expansion interface providing support for additional I/O signals and up to 8 transceiver pairs.

The on-board DisplayPort supports DisplayPort 1.4 for a total bandwidth of 32.4Gbps with 32 audio channels and 8K video at 60Hz with 10-bit color resolution.
