The EXOSTIV Blade is a sophisticated solution designed to perform deep, multi-FPGA capture at full operational speeds. It supports an array of use cases, including pre-silicon SoC validation on FPGA prototypes and complex multi-FPGA debugging. Notably, the system offers scalable bandwidth that reaches up to 4.5 Tbps, facilitating storage of trace data on up to 5.12 TB of memory.
EXOSTIV Blade is engineered for flexibility with an architecture that uses a modular chassis, available in compact, tower, 2U, and 4U configurations. Each unit can feature multiple capture boards equipped with QSFP28 connectors, enabling seamless integration with FPGA transceivers at rates up to 28.125 Gbps. This configuration ensures a comprehensive data capture capability across various FPGA nodes, providing a detailed view of the operational performance.
Equipped with remote access functionality, EXOSTIV Blade supports multiple users simultaneously, enhancing collaborative engineering efforts. The EXOSTIV Blade IP enhances functionality with features like sampling up to 800 MHz, dynamic data group selection, and the ability to trigger across multiple clock domains, making it an essential tool for engineers looking to conduct thorough debugging and analysis.
