Some questions about Intel Agilex 7 M-series FPGA Development kit.

About 3 months ago, I wrote a discussion on Agilex 7 M-series Development kit.

And I found that there are no development kit for M-series.

Today, I find that Intel is now selling M-series Development kit, so I read some documents, and have a few questions about it.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/agilex/agm039.html

1. Does M-series development kit stand-alone board? Our lab wants FPGA board which can communicate with Intel Xeon 4th using CXL with full bandwidth of 16x PCIe 5.0, so we do not need stand-alone board.

2. If M-series development kit can communicate using CXL with full bandwidth of 16x PCIe 5.0, then does it communicate using MCIO?

3. If the answer of question #1 and #2 is "NO", then is there any way to use Agilex M-series FPGA as a host-attached FPGA board, like I-series (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/agilex/agi027.html)?

Thanks in advanced!

    Hi kgh1030,


    Yes, in Agilex 7 M-series FPGA Development kit, the PCIe communication is through MCIO.

    Agilex 7 M-series FPGA Development kit does not have PCIe golden finger as Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit.
