A.5.4. CXL Interface

The Agilex™ 7 FPGA F-Series (2 × F-Tiles) Development Kit board provides a CXL connector interface for cabling to an Intel® -designed M.2 SSD daughter card supporting M-Keying. This interface connects to four 28 Gbps F-Tile lanes of the Agilex™ 7 FPGA. When connecting the development board to this SSD daughter card, the development board connects four transceiver channels from the F-Tile bank 12C to M2 channels 8-11 (J5) of the M.2 daughter card.
