Various Xilinx® development boards support the 40G/50G High Speed Ethernet core. These boards can be used to prototype designs and establish that the core can communicate with the system.
UltraScale™ devices are recommended for optimum performance. Ensure that the board transceivers support the required Ethernet bit rate. For example, the following board is suitable for many UltraScale™ implementations: UltraScale FPGA evaluation board, VCU108.
