Similar/Alternative Models

Several comparable evaluation kits can serve as alternatives or upgrades to the DK-K7-EMBD-G:

1. DK-K7-EMBD-CES-G

• Key Differences:

  • Similar core functionality but may differ in included accessories (e.g., power supply variations).

  • Some versions (e.g., DK-K7-EMBD-CES-G-J) exclude power supplies for regional compliance.

• Price: Typically higher than DK-K7-EMBD-G (~$\mathrm{<span\; style="font-size:18px;">2</span>}<span\; style="font-size:18px;">,</span>\mathrm{<span\; style="font-size:18px;">261</span>}\mathrm{<span\; style="font-size:18px;">�</span>}\mathrm{<span\; style="font-size:18px;">�</span>}\mathrm{<span\; style="font-size:18px;">.</span>}\text{<span style="font-size:18px;"> </span>}$1,880).

2. KC705 Evaluation Kit

• FPGA: Also based on Kintex-7 (XC7K325T) but with a different board layout and peripheral support.

• Use Case: More focused on high-speed serial connectivity (PCIe, SFP+, etc.).

3. LFE3-17EA-USB3-EVN (Lattice Semiconductor)

• FPGA: Lattice ECP3 (lower-cost alternative).

• Best For: Low-power embedded applications where Xilinx FPGAs are over-specified.

4. Digilent 410-300

• FPGA: Xilinx Artix-7 (lower-cost, smaller form factor).

• Use Case: Entry-level FPGA development and education.

5. Terasic Inc. P0162

• FPGA: Intel (Altera) Cyclone series.
