Digilent Genesys 2 AMD Kintex 7 FPGA Development Board
Digilent Genesys 2 AMD Kintex 7 FPGA Development Board
The Digilent Genesys 2 is a high-performance, ready-to-use FPGA development board built around the AMD Kintex 7 FPGA. Everything needed for robust multimedia applications is already available on the board: DisplayPort connectors, HDMI sink and source, 16-bit VGA, 128x32 pixel OLED screen, and an audio codec with four 3.5 mm jacks. The Genesys 2 also offers five Pmod ports and a fully populated FMC HPC connector, which provide limitless expansion options. Additionally, the 10/100/1000 Ethernet, USB 2.0, and a USB HID host for mice and keyboards make the Genesys 2 easily integrated with other systems.
The free Standard Edition of the AMD Vivado Design Suite does not support the Kintex-7 325T, but a voucher is provided for Vivado Enterprise Edition at no extra cost. Guides and demos are available to help users get started quickly with the Genesys 2.
