The V7 TAI Logic Module can hold designs up to 180M ASIC gates with up to 9 Xilinx Vitex-7 2000T FPGA devices on a single board. In addition to our existing USB2.0 port for our popular runtime features such as FPGA download, programmable clock generations and self-test, the new V7 TAI Logic Module now supports these runtime features through Ethernet cable so you can control your FPGA hardware remotely. S2C has also added many new runtime features such as I/O voltage settings and clock frequency read backs through software control.

Runtime Software
All S2C V7 TAI Logic Modules are shipped with our state-of-art TAI Player Pro Runtime software for FREE. You can exercise full control over the S2C TAI Logic Modules from Linux or Windows machines through the USB or Ethernet ports without being a hardware expert.

Monitor On-board voltages & current Program on-board clock frequencies

Control hardware through USB2.0 or Gigabit Ethernet ports Download designs to FPGA conveniently from TAI Player Pro software Make SD card for standalone FPGA download Run Self-Test for all I/O, interconnections and clocks Select global clock sources and program on-board programmable clock frequencies Reset hardware or re-download to FPGA remotely through software Monitor on-board voltage, current and temperature Read back on-board global clock frequencies Adjust I/O voltages through software Adjust fan speed settings through software

Compile & Debug Software

V7 TAI Logic Module now provides our popular FPGA I/O assignment tool for FREE. Instead of going through datasheets and manually creating I/O assignment files for FPGA, users can now make I/O assignments in a graphical user interface to save time and avoid errors.

The optional Full version of TAI Player Pro Compile & Debug Software dramatically reduces your SoC prototyping effort particularly for designs that require partitioning across multiple FPGAs. With a straightforward graphical user interface, you can perform prototype verification within a fraction of the time it would take over a conventional design flow. TAI Player Pro encapsulates and works seamlessly with Xilinx tool set and third party tools, including synthesis, place and route, and debug. RTL-level probes are set up prior to synthesis step so that the signal names can be retained throughout the compile flow even when designs are partitioned across multiple Virtex-7 FPGAs.
