RDX Development Kit

Reconfigurable Computing Out of the Box

The RDX Development kit comes with everything you need to get started on reconfigurable computing right out of the box. Unlike other products, the RDX comes with IP cores for PCI-e, Ethernet and DDR memory which could take months to develop on your own. The RDX development kit allows you to focus your efforts on your application and not on basic infrastructure. It also comes with the RDX C++ API, an easy-to-use, host-based interface for communicating with the on-board RDX-11 reconfigurable hardware.

 

Applications

  • Classroom instruction
  • Bioinformatics
  • Encryption/Decryption
  • Compression/Decompression
  • Ethernet Signal Processing
