V1161 Programmable 100G Rugged Ethernet XMC ASoC Card

V1161 Programmable 100G Rugged Ethernet XMC ASoC Card Overview

The V1161 100G ethernet card is a next generation high performance embedded computing XMC featuring the Xilinx^® Versal^® Adaptive System-on-Chip (ASoC), the NVIDIA^® Mellanox^® ConnectX^®-5 (MC-X5) network interface device, and rugged optical and electrical IO options. The V1161 is specifically targeted at applications requiring a combination of high speed interfaces, network offloads, and onboard payload processing resources. Use cases include sensor interface design with onboard data processing (or pre-processing), multi-level secure networking, and mixed protocol or protocol bridging applications. Radar, SIGINT, video, storage, medical imaging, and embedded communications systems all have the ability to benefit from the V1161 module.

The V1161 is a proven high-bandwidth and low-latency performance leader in 10/25/40/50/100Gbs Ethernet applications. The V1161 includes hardware offloads for UDP, TCP, RoCE v2, DPDK, GPUDirect, NVMEoF, and many other protocol stacks. The combination of the MC-X5 device and the ASoC device allows for system designers to leverage the off-the-shelf world-class Ethernet performance of the MC-X5 while deploying unique data processing and security algorithms in the onboard ASoC device. This combination maximizes the effectiveness of the deployed algorithms while eliminating design efforts required to establish high bandwidth Ethernet, PCIe controllers, efficient DMA engines, or low overhead software drivers.

In addition to the Ethernet interfaces described, the FPGA fabric provided within the ASoC part is capable of hosting New Wave Design IP cores for Fibre Channel, ARINC-818, sFPDP, Aurora, and others. This makes the V1161 an ideal hardware platform for mixed interface protocol needs or protocol bridging applications.

The convenient XMC form factor and rugged design of the V1161 can turn a VPX-based single board computer into a single-slot sensor interface and heterogeneous computing solution. The V1161 mounted on a x86 based single board computer will provide 100G optical interfaces, FPGA fabric, and ARM processor cores all in a single slot solution. V1161 is also available from New Wave Design in a 3U VPX form-factor instead of XMC if desired.
