Using the FPGA on the Adapter Card
Mellanox Innova-2 Flex Open dual-port network adapter combines ConnectX-5 with a fully open programmable FPGA. FPGA applications can be easily developed and deployed, utilizing the Mellanox tools suite and the Xilinx standard development environment.
For more information on the Xilinx Vivado tools and documents, see Xilinx Vivado Tools and Documents.
For instructions how to burn the User Image using the Mellanox Innova-2 Flex Open bundle, see Running the Burning Flows.
For instructions how to burn the User Image using JTAG, see Burning the FPGA Image through the JTAG.
For instructions how to run diagnostics to make sure that the FPGA is working properly, see Diagnostic Capabilities.
The user is responsible for temperature monitoring and avoiding FPGA overheating.
The ConnectX network traffic and FPGA offload traffic are competing on the same PCI link resources. It is the user’s responsibility to avoid oversubscription of the PCI link resources.
