Major features of the MPS3 board

The MPS3 board contains a Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale XCKU115-1FLVB1760C FPGA, support logic, and peripheral interfaces that provide access to the FPGA and I/O interfaces.

The feature-rich set of user peripherals connects directly to the FPGA and provides flexibility for the user. The peripherals can be included in a custom design as required.

Two Arduino expansion Shield slots enable connection of sensors, motors, and other design-specific peripherals. The MPS3 board also provides expansion through four Peripheral Module (Pmod) expansion ports, and an FPGA Mezzanine Card High Pin Count (FMC-HPC) expansion port.

An on-board Motherboard Configuration Controller (MCC) controls the board and configures the FPGA in a way similar to other Arm development boards including boards in the Arm Versatile Express range.
