The Genesys 2 is a high-performance, ready-to-use FPGA development board built around the Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA. The Genesys 2 is a powerhouse for data and video processing applications, but offers a variety of peripherals making it a great solution for a wide array of projects.

Everything needed for robust multimedia applications is already available on the board: DisplayPort connectors, HDMI sink and source, 16-bit VGA, 128×32 pixel OLED screen, and an audio codec with four 3.5mm jacks. One can quickly get started with A/V, image processing, or other multimedia applications without needing additional hardware.

Working on other applications, or looking for more customizability? The Genesys 2 also offers five Pmod ports and a fully populated FMC HPC connector, which provide limitless expansion options. Additionally, the 10/100/1000 Ethernet, USB 2.0, and a USB HID host for mice and keyboards make the Genesys 2 easily integrated with other systems.

The powerful Kintex-7 XC7K325T-2FFG900C will have no trouble keeping up with your designs made in Vivado Design Suite or ISE. The free WebPACK version of the Vivado Design Suite does not support the Kintex-7 325T, but a voucher is provided for Vivado HL Design Edition at no extra cost.
