The XEM7010 is a USB 2.0 FPGA development board based on the remarkably-capable Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. In addition to a high gate-count FPGA, the XEM7010 utilizes the high transfer rate of USB 2.0 for configuration downloads, enabling speedy FPGA configuration and data transfer. With integrated SDRAM, power supplies, and flash, the XEM7010 is a worthy successor to the most popular Opal Kelly module.

Need More Bandwidth? The XEM7310 is a footprint-compatible version of the XEM7010 that uses USB 3.0 offering nearly 900% bandwidth improvement over USB 2.0.

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.

 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.
