Functions of the PCIe-I-8K
2.1 General FPGA PCIe Card Product, with or without the SOC PCIe Firmware
The PCIe-I-8K can be used as an FPGA PCIe card for FPGA based PCIe applications. SOC
can supply the FPGA PCIe firmware along with the PCIe software for the host (either Linux or
Windows), which makes the PCIe-I-8K a plug-and-play device for PCIe applications. However,
customers can purchase the PCIe-I-8K without the SOC PCIe firmware/software. In this case,
customers can develop their own firmware/software for their applications.
The PCIe-I-8K can also be used as a standalone FPGA board without using the PCIe, as it has
a variety of I/O ports, including HDMI, SDI, and Ethernet etc. SOC supplies drivers for all of the
I/O ports, which are FPGA firmware running on the FPGAs on the PCIe-I-8K. However,
customer can purchase the PCIe-I-8K without the SOC I/O drivers. In this case, the customer
will implement their desired I/O firmware for their applications.
Table-1 lists the product code of the three versions. Two additional boards are also listed in
Table-1. The VTR-X-8K is a similar board to VTR-X-8K, but it uses the Xilinx Zynq-7045 FPGA.
The VoIP-4K is a 4K level board that does not have the PCIe. Refer to the User Guide of VTR-
X-8K and the User Guide of VoIP-4K for details.

2.2 Product Development based on the SOC SoM
The SOC SoM modules can be used as generic System on Module (SoM) platform for user
designs. Fig. 2 shows the SOC SOM-I-SX660 module. The module is equipped with one Arria-10
SX660 FPGA which has 250K ALMs of logics and embedded ARM processors. The SOM-I-SX660
has 8Gbits of DDR3 memories, with 4Gb for the logic and 4Gb for the ARMs. There are also two
