Home NetFPGA 10G

The NetFPGA-10G Platform is a hardware device combined with an open source code base that together enable rapid prototyping of networking devices. The hardware itself is a PCI Express board with 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA. More details as well as board purchasing information can be found via the NetFPGA-10G Board page. Based on the design flow of Xilinx Embedded Development Kit software and ARM's AXI4 interface specification, the platform's open source code base includes reference projects, an IP library, and tools to help a user realize a new design quickly. If you'd like a further introduction to NetFPGA, this XCell article (PDF version, page 24) provides a great high level overview.

The NetFPGA-10G Platform is fully documented on this wiki and we hope you find it useful in learning about the platform. As a starting point, new users may find the Getting Started Guide a good place to begin.
