BittWare IA-420f Agilex™ FPGA Cards
BittWare IA-420f Agilex™ FPGA Cards with PCIe Gen4 x16 is an Altera® Agilex-based FPGA card designed to deliver next-generation performance for data center, networking, and edge computing workloads. The IA-420f NIC-sized card offers a balance of I/O and memory using the Agilex chip’s unique tiling architecture with a QSFP-DD (1x 200G), DDR4 SDRAM, PCIe Gen4 x16, and a GPIO port for diverse applications. The BittWare IA-420f Agilex FPGA Cards enable an abstracted development flow for dramatically simplified code reuse across multiple architectures.Features
