FPGA Configurations 

Following are the Xilinx Virtex

7 FPGA options for the Model 71791 XMC module:

Option 073 is a Xilinx XC7VX330T

2 FPGA

Option 076 is a Xilinx XC7VX690T

2 FPGA 

Model 71791 is shipped with a default FPGA configuration on FLASH memory. Model 

71791 loads the FPGA configuration from FLASH memory at power

up. Up to four 

FPGA configurations can be stored in FLASH, identified as Version 0, Version 1, Ver

sion 2, and Version 3. The default FPGA configuration is located in the Version 0 space. 

The other three positions are empty.

The 71791 is shipped with the FPGA configuration SW (

SW1-2

) set to ON, which sets 

the board’s maximum speed to Gen 3 x8. 

However, the Model 5201 carrier limits the 

number of lanes to x4.

 For more information, refer to Section 2.4 in the 

Model 52791
