Overview

Trenz Electronic TE0711 (Rick Martin complete article number removed) is a FPGA module integrating a Xilinx Artix-7 SoM (System on Module), 32 Mbyte SPI Flash memory for configuration and operation, and powerful switch-mode power supplies for all on-board voltages. A large number of configurable I/Os are provided via rugged high-speed stacking strips. All modules in 4 x 5 cm form factor are mechanically compatible.

TE0711 has on-board USB 2.0 High Speed UART/FIFO FT2232HQ from FTDI. Channel A can only be used in simple UART mode, Channel B can be used as UART, in 245 FIFO, JTAG(MPSSE) or High Speed Serial modes. An standard 256 Byte EEPROM to store custom Configuration settings for FT2232H is available. EEPROM settings can be changed using FTDI provided tools that can be downloaded from FTDI website.
