RoadRunner (BECOMING DEPRECATED)

Description

The RoadRunner is becoming deprecated. It is a low-profile PCI Express add-in card featuring a high-performance Xilinx FPGA, two Ethernet ports capable of speeds up to 40 Gbit/sec each, and an embedded webserver for command/control. It is suitable for low-cost applications where a quick development cycle is desired.

The RoadRunner is PCIe powered, so no additional power source is required. There is a battery for bitstream decryption keys and a switch for bitstream revision selection. The board’s size conforms to the PCI low-profile, add-in card, form factor specification. Dual-slot profile required for fan shroud.

For quick and easy application updates, the RoadRunner is reconfigurable through PCIe. It features a programmable clock synthesizer and power monitoring fully controllable through an I2C bus.
