Dragon-E PCI Express FPGA board

We are proud to present KNJN's latest FPGA board, Dragon-E.

In short:

  • Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA with integrated PCI Express port.
  • USB-2 high speed interface.
  • FlashyD compatible.
  • Color TFT LCD with LVDS interface.
  • JTAG, lots of IOs, I2C master... and the ease of use of KNJN FPGA boards.

PCI Express and USB-2 high speed interface

The Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA provides the PCI Express port in conjunction with Xilinx's PCI Express "Endpoint Block Plus" core. The core is included in Xilinx's free development tool ISE Webpack, sweet!

The board also features an high speed USB-2 interface allowing using the board in standalone mode.

Flashy

Dragon-E can be used as motherboard for other projects. See here for example Dragon-E with a FlashyD acquisition board to create a two-channels digital oscilloscope.

Color TFT LCD

Dragon-E has the option to drive an LVDS TFT LCD through its FFC connector.
