DE160203 PXIe Kria Module is a high-performance, adaptable processing platform designed to bring the full potential of the AMD Kria™ K26 System-on-Module (SoM) to the modular PXIe ecosystem. By integrating the AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC at its core, this module masterfully combines the flexibility of programmable logic (FPGA) with the processing power of ARM®-based cores. This synergy makes it an ideal solution for the most demanding applications requiring real-time control, hardware acceleration, and complex algorithm processing within a synchronized, scalable test and measurement environment.

This module leverages the PXIe form factor to extend the Kria K26 SoM’s capabilities with a rich set of industry-standard interfaces, facilitating rapid prototyping and deployment of complex embedded systems. The front panel offers essential high-speed connectivity, including a 2-port USB 3.0 hub, a DisplayPort, an SFP+ cage for optical networking, and a 1G PS Ethernet port. The module’s architecture ensures robust data throughput via a high-speed 2-lane PXIe connection implemented in the programmable logic (PL).

Designed for customization and expandability, the PXIe KRIA Module features an LPC FMC connector and a PMOD connector, allowing users to integrate specialized I/O, custom sensor interfaces, or additional peripherals. Storage solutions are versatile, with an M.2 slot for a 2-lane NVMe drive and a microSD card interface for flexible OS booting. This adaptability makes the PXIe KRIA Module a powerful building block for next-generation systems in aerospace, automotive, and industrial control.
