According to DAVE, BORA Xpress will save time and resources using a compact solution that includes both a CPU and an FPGA, avoiding complexities on the carrier PCB. The use of this processor enables extensive system-level differentiation of applications in many industry fields, where high-performance and extremely compact form factor (85x50mm) are key factors.
Smarter system designs are made possible, following the trends in functionalities and interfaces of recent embedded products. BORA Xpress’ computational power comes thanks to the rich set of peripherals, the Dual Cortex-A9 and the Artix-7 or Kintex-7 FPGA together with a large set of high-speed I/Os (up to 6.25Gb/s). BORA Xpress enables designers to create rugged products suitable for harsh mechanical and thermal environments, allowing for the development of advanced, robust products.
Thanks to the tight integration between the ARM-based processing system and the on-chip programmable logic, designers are free to add virtually any peripheral or create custom accelerators that extend system performance and better match specific application requirements.

BORA Xpress is designed and manufactured according to DAVE Embedded Systems’ ULTRA Line specifications, in order to guarantee premium quality and technical value for customers who require top performances and flexibility.
“DAVE Embedded Systems have used the latest Zynq application processor to create a solution for their customers that is highly flexible, high performance and extremely compact. Xilinx silicon allows BORA Xpress to be readily adapted to applications in a very wide range of markets without sacrificing performance,” said Mark Jensen, Director, Partner Ecosystems & Alliances.
