The USXGMII FMC daughter card is the hardware evaluation platform for evaluating and testing the quadrate PHY IP. The daughter card works with the PolarFire Video Kit which features the PolarFire FPGA device. This kit needs to be purchased separately. The kit is purpose-built for effortless prototyping of popular imaging and video protocols including MIPI CSI-2 TX, MIPI CSI-2 RX, HDMI 1.4 TX, HDMI2.0, DSI, and HD/3G/6G/12G USXGMII. With a 300K logic element (LE) PolarFire FPGA with DDR4 and SPI-flash the kit is ideally suited for mid-bandwidth imaging and video applications. CoreUSXGMII is a paid Core and need to purchase it separately. CoreUSXGMII does not include as part of kit purchase.
To evaluate the USXGMII solution, two-board hardware set up is utilized. The USXGMII FMC card with on-board quadrate PHY plugs into the PolarFire Video Kit. The solution supports10 Gbps/5 Gbps/2.5 Gbps/1 Gbps/100 Mbps rates and is compliant with the USXGMII standard. Both development boards are required to be purchased separately.
