  • 400GbE
  • Up to 72 GB DDR4
  • CXL EP capable
XpressSX AGI-FH401G

Overview

The XpressSX AGI-FH401G is a full-height, half-length PCIe network processing board built on an Intel Agilex 7 I-Series SoC FPGA with a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53. It combines a PCIe Gen5 x16 host interface that is CXL endpoint compatible with 400 Gigabit Ethernet and up to 72 GB of DDR4. Reflex CES targets it at security SmartNICs, high-performance networking and FPGA-based acceleration, and offers it with the DYNANIC SmartNIC software stack from a partner.

Built for

  • Security SmartNICs
  • Network monitoring and telemetry
  • Inline anti-DDoS and IDS/IPS
  • FPGA-based acceleration

Key features

400G Ethernet

A single board supports 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G Ethernet over 8 x 58G lanes.

PCIe Gen5 with CXL

The PCIe Gen5 x16 edge interface is CXL endpoint compatible, with a separate CXL IP license possibly required.

Extra PCIe links

Four HSI connectors carry 32 more transceivers for PCIe Gen5 endpoint or root port use, and a supplied daughter card brings full Gen5 x16 to the server.

Large memory

One 8 GB on-board DDR4 bank is shared by SoC and FPGA, plus two SO-DIMM sockets of up to 32 GB each.

Open-source framework

The NDK development framework adds a 400 Gbps DMA, DPDK support and a demo NIC application.

Integrated Arm cores

The quad-core Cortex-A53 runs a Yocto-based Linux supplied in the board support package.
