PCIe-X-8K PCIe Card
1. Overview
The SOC PCIe-X-8K PCIe Card is a powerful FPGA platform, equipped with two Zynq-7045
FPGAs and a DDR3 SODIMM connector that can connect a SOC SOM module, e.g the SOM-
X-7045 (Zynq-7045 FPGA). The PCIe-X-8K can be used as a PCIe card or a standalone FPGA
board. Customers can use the PCIe-X-8K for their products directly (OEM Product), or as a
product development platform. The PCIe-X-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-X-8K has two Xilinx Zynq-7045 FPGA chips, which controls the I/Os and can also be
used for user firmware or SOC firmware for video/audio codec applications. The PCIe-X-8K also
has a DDR3 SODIMM connector that is used to connect the SOC MPEG codec modules of
4k@60 resolution or a generic SoM module for user defined applications.
The PCIE-X-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-X-
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.
The PCIe-X-8K PCIe Platform is shown in Figure 1 (top view). The I/O ports and major
components are labeled in the figure.

2. Functions of the PCIe-X-8K
2.1 General FPGA PCIe Card Product, with or without the SOC PCIe Firmware
The PCIe-X-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-X-8K a plug-and-play device for PCIe applications.
However, customers can purchase the PCIe-X-8K without the SOC PCIe firmware/software.
In this case, customers can develop their own firmware/software for their applications.
The PCIe-X-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-X-8K. However,
customer can purchase the PCIe-X-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 PCIe-I-8K is a similar board to PCIe-X-8K, but it uses the Intel Arria-10 FPGA.
The VoIP-X-4K is a 4K level board that does not have the PCIe. Refer to the User Guide of
PCIe-I-8K and the User Guide of VoIP-X-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-X-Z35 module. The module is equipped with one Zynq-
7035 FPGA which has 172KLUTs of logics and ARM processors.The SOM-Z7035 has 8Gbits
of DDR3 memories, with 4Gb for the logic and 4Gb for the ARMs. There are also two
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-X-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-X-8K-D plus the 8K module
become the evaluation kit.
SOC uses the PCIe-X-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-X-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-X-8K-D
or PCIe-X-8K-P are provided in “Instruction Sheet of Using the PCIe-X-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-X-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
