Versal V80 Fan Shroud

Active cooling is essential on production-ready platforms like the AMD Versal V80 which can consume close to 200W of power under full load. Although it is recommended to only run the V80 in a server system with appropriate cooling, academics like me might not always have quick access to such systems. This project provides a custom 3D-printable active cooling fan shroud designed to attach an 80mm fan directly to the V80 board, ensuring optimal airflow across the board’s heatsink. ...

ReCONNECT: FPGA-Optimized RTL-Native Network-on-Chip (NoC)

ReCONNECT is a highly parameterizable, high-performance soft Network-on-Chip (NoC) designed to be customizable to the needs of the application while remaining resource-minimal. Written directly in SystemVerilog (RTL), the NoC is specially optimized for high-frequency operations, exceeding 500 MHz on modern FPGA architectures (such as Agilex 7). It also features native, out-of-the-box support for both Altera and AMD FPGAs as well as fast behavioral simulation without any hardware toolchains (see the Cross-Platform FPGA Support section below). ...
