PicoEVB: M.2/NGFF based Xilinx Artix-7 development board
PicoEVB is an affordable development board which can be used to evaluate and prototype PCI express designs using Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA on Windows or Linux hosts. The board is designed around the Artix 7 (XC7A50T).
PicoEVB is a complete development system in a M.2 (NGFF) 2230 footprint. The JTAG cable and all necessary power supplies are built in. It will work in the following slots:
- M.2 2230 Key A
- M.2 2230 Key E
- M.2 2280 Key M via an adapter like this one
- Full length mini PCIe via an adapter like this one
- PCIe x1, x4, x8, or x16 slot via an adapter like this one
Features
- PCI Express connection to the host via M.2 edge slot
- Built-in JTAG cable works with Vivado and Labtools
- Analog and digital IO
