PCIe-I-8K PCIe Card
1. Overview
The SOC PCIe-I-8K PCIe card is a powerful FPGA platform, equipped with a Arria-10 SX660
FPGAs and a DDR3 SODIMM connector that can connect a SOC SOM module, e.g the SOM-
SX660 (Arria-10 SX660 FPGA). The PCIe-I-8K can be used as a PCIe card or a standalone
FPGA board. Customers can use the PCIe-I-8K for their products directly (OEM Product), or as
a product development platform. The PCIe-I-8K is designed for the following four major
functions:
1. As a general FPGA PCIe card product or a product development platform for PCIe based
systems, with or without the SOC PCIe firmware.
2. As a development board for products based on the SOC Generic System-On-Module
(SOM) Modules, related to PCIe applications.
3. As a Carrier Board for evaluating the SOC MPEG codec modules and IP cores, especially
4k@60 and 8K resolutions and PCIe related applications.
4. As an OEM product of H.265/H.264/MPEG2 video/audio PCIe acceleration card, for either
Linux or Microsoft Windows.
The PCIe-I-8K uses the on-board FPGA chip to control the I/Os. The FPGA can also be used
for user firmware or SOC firmware for video/audio codec applications. The PCIe-I-8K also has
a DDR3 SODIMM connector that is used to connect the SOC MPEG codec modules of 4k@60
and 8K@30 resolutions or a generic SOM module for user defined applications.
The PCIe-I-8K with encoder, decoder, or both IP cores is a fully functional H.264/265 (or MPEG-
2) video/audio PCIe acceleration card for video server/cloud applications. The PCIe-I-8K also
provides HDMI input, HDMI output, four bidirectional 12G SDI ports (which are used for HD, 4K
or 8K video input or output), and an Ethernet port with the UDP/RTP/IP compatibilities.

2. Functions of the PCIe-I-8K
2.1 General FPGA PCIe Card Product, with or without the SOC PCIe Firmware
The PCIe-I-8K can be used as an FPGA PCIe card for FPGA based PCIe applications. SOC
can supply the FPGA PCIe firmware along with the PCIe software for the host (either Linux or
Windows), which makes the PCIe-I-8K a plug-and-play device for PCIe applications. However,
customers can purchase the PCIe-I-8K without the SOC PCIe firmware/software. In this case,
customers can develop their own firmware/software for their applications.
The PCIe-I-8K can also be used as a standalone FPGA board without using the PCIe, as it has
a variety of I/O ports, including HDMI, SDI, and Ethernet etc. SOC supplies drivers for all of the
I/O ports, which are FPGA firmware running on the FPGAs on the PCIe-I-8K. However,
customer can purchase the PCIe-I-8K without the SOC I/O drivers. In this case, the customer
will implement their desired I/O firmware for their applications.
Table-1 lists the product code of the three versions. Two additional boards are also listed in
Table-1. The VTR-X-8K is a similar board to VTR-X-8K, but it uses the Xilinx Zynq-7045 FPGA.
The VoIP-4K is a 4K level board that does not have the PCIe. Refer to the User Guide of VTR-
X-8K and the User Guide of VoIP-4K for details.

2.2 Product Development based on the SOC SoM
The SOC SoM modules can be used as generic System on Module (SoM) platform for user
designs. Fig. 2 shows the SOC SOM-I-SX660 module. The module is equipped with one Arria-10
SX660 FPGA which has 250K ALMs of logics and embedded ARM processors. The SOM-I-SX660
has 8Gbits of DDR3 memories, with 4Gb for the logic and 4Gb for the ARMs. There are also two
Connector for

oscillators on the module. The flash memory on the module allows the user to store their firmware
after the development. Once configured with the user developed firmware, the module can be
used as SoM module for user applications. This accelerates product development and reduces
hardware design costs.

2.3 Carrier Board for Evaluating the SOC MPEG Codec Modules and IP Cores
SOC uses the PCIe-I-8K-D as the carrier board for evaluating the SOC H.26/H.265 8K codec
IP cores or modules, which does not require the PCIe. The PCIe-I-8K-D plus the 8K module
become the evaluation kit.
SOC uses the PCIe-I-8K-P as the carrier board for evaluating the SOC H.26/H.265 8K codec
IP cores or modules, which requires the PCIe. The PCIe-I-8K-P plus the 8K module become the
codec with PCIe evaluation kit.

Detailed instructions for evaluating the SOC encoders and decoders using the PCIe-I-8K-D or
PCIe-I-8K-P are provided in “Instruction Sheet of Using the PCIe-I-8K to Evaluate SOC Codec
and IP cores or Modules”.
2.4 H.264/265 (or MPEG-2) PCIe Accelerator OEM Product
SOC has developed MPEG Codec PCIe acceleration cards based on the PCIe-I-8K-P, include
high-density multiple channel H.264/H.265 encoders, decoders, and transcoders. The PCIe
acceleration cards come with the software for the host as well, which makes them plug-and-
play. SOC customizes the cards according to customer requirement as well. Contact SOC at
[e-mail] for information.
