KINTEX-7 FPGA EMBEDDED KIT:
SIMPLIFIED DESIGN OF PROGRAMMABLE,
HIGH-PERFORMANCE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Xilinx Embedded Systems
Design Solutions
• Integrated kit boosts developer productivity
with a combination of silicon, tools, IP, and
reference design
• Foundation for simpler, smarter
development of customizable system-on-
chip (SoC) solutions
• Embedded reference design reduces
development time by including most
commonly used building blocks (processor,
memory and I/O interfaces), freeing
designers to focus on customization
• Out-of-box ready, with advanced tools for
both software and hardware designers
• Scalable optimized architecture streamlines
derivative products and migration for
maximum design reuse across devices
Embedded processing has become a mainstay for addressing rapidly changing product
requirements and building highly differentiated products. With the additional power of
programmable logic, embedded systems can drive up integration levels to reduce total
system cost, weight, area, and power. Continuing its 28nm market leadership, Xilinx offers
embedded systems developers the power, performance, and productivity advantages of its
7 series FPGAs with the highly flexible Kintex™-7 FPGA Embedded Kit. Designers in
aerospace, defense, broadcast, medical, and wireless markets who require a control
processor combined with advanced FPGA features can shorten development time with
the kit’s tools and reference design.
