iWave Launches iW-RainboW-G58M: Intel Agilex® 5 FPGA System on Module

iWave is excited to announce the launch of the iW-RainboW-G58M System on Module (SoM), powered by the Intel Agilex® 5 FPGA Series that extends the innovations of the Intel Agilex® FPGA portfolio to midrange FPGA applications. The Agilex® 5 SoM is built in a compact form factor of 60mm x 70 mm and is compatible with the Intel Agilex® 5 FPGA and SoC E-Series family and B32A package in two device variants:

Group A: A5E 065A/052A/043A/028A/013A SoC FPGA

Group B: A5E 065B/052B/043B/028B/013B/008B SoC FPGA

The Agilex® 5 System on Module is an ideal building block for equipment used in wireless communications, video/broadcast, and industrial test and measurement sectors. The SoM supports 24 transceivers up to 28 Gbps, a PCIe Gen 4 connectivity interface, and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PHY transceiver. iWave is now shipping early samples of the Agilex® 5 System on Module and evaluation kit, which comes with complete user documentation, software drivers, and a board support package.

Intel Agilex® 5 FPGAs and SoCs enhanced the industry’s first AI tensor block from Intel’s previous AI-optimized FPGA for general purpose, mid-range FPGAs in Intel Agilex® 5 FPGAs, making them an ideal choice for edge AI applications. The Agilex® 5 FPGA features an asymmetric applications processor system consisting of dual Arm Cortex-A76 cores and dual Cortex-A55 cores that optimize the performance and power efficiency of their workloads.
