Digilent Genesys 2 Board

The Digilent Genesys 2 board is an advanced, high-performance, ready-to-use digital circuit development platform based on the latest Kintex-7™ Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Xilinx. With its high-capacity, high-speed FPGA (Xilinx part number XC7K325T-2FFG900C), fast external memories, high-speed digital video ports, and wide expansions options make the Genesys 2 well suited for data and video processing applications. Several built-in peripherals, including Ethernet, audio and USB 2.0, allow a wide range of other applications. The fully-bonded1) high-speed FMC HPC connector opens the door to great expansion possibilities.
