The XEM8350 is a high-performance FPGA development board based on the AMD-Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGA. In addition to a high gate-count FPGA, the XEM8350 employs two fully-independent SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interfaces for configuration downloads and data transfer. With integrated DDR4, power supplies, platform flash, high-speed transceivers, Samtec mezzanine connectors, and voltage, current, and temperature monitoring, the XEM8350 is ideal for ultra high-end data acquisition and computation loads.

Front panel

FrontPanel® SDK

Opal Kelly’s FrontPanel SDK is an easy-to-use, robust API for communication, configuration, and interfacing to your PC, Mac or Linux hardware. FrontPanel handles all the interaction between your software and the FPGA internals, dramatically reducing the time and effort required to interface to a design.

Flash

Prototyping and OEM Integration

Opal Kelly FPGA integration modules are designed to be the ideal turnkey solution for prototypes and OEM product integration. With the complete FrontPanel SDK, there’s simply no faster, more reliable, production-ready way to jump start your FPGA design.
