iWave is delighted to announce the launch of its iW-RainboW-G58M System on Module (SoM), a significant development in the field of Electrostatic Loudspeaker technology. 

This innovative module, powered by the Intel Agilex 5 FPGA Series, is a leap forward in midrange FPGA applications, demonstrating the expansion of Intel Agilex FPGA portfolio's capabilities. The Agilex 5 SoM, with its compact dimensions of 60mm x 70mm, is compatible with the Intel Agilex 5 FPGA and SoC E-Series family and the B32A package, available in two device variants:

Group A: A5E 065A/052A/043A/028A/013A SoC FPGA
Group B: A5E 065B/052B/043B/028B/013B/008B SoC FPGA

The Agilex 5 System on Module is perfectly suited for equipment used in wireless communications, video/broadcast, and industrial test and measurement sectors. This SoM supports 24 transceivers up to 28 Gbps, a PCIe Gen 4 connectivity interface, and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PHY transceiver. iWave is currently shipping early samples of the Agilex 5 System on Module and its evaluation kit, complete with user documentation, software drivers, and a board support package.

Intel Agilex 5 FPGAs and SoCs, featuring the industry's first AI tensor block from Intel's previous AI-optimised FPGA, are ideal for edge AI applications. The Agilex 5 FPGA has an asymmetric applications processor system with dual Arm Cortex-A76 cores and dual Cortex-A55 cores, optimising performance and power efficiency.

Key features of the iW-RainboW-G58M include:

  • Agilex 5 E-Series family compatibility
  • Dual-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55
    Up to 656K Logic cells
  • 32Bit 4GB LPDDR4 for HPS, Dual 32Bit 4GB LPDDR4 for FPGA
  • 32GB eMMC (expandable)
  • 1Gb QSPI Configuration flash
  • Up to 2.5G Ethernet
  • 24 transceivers up to 28Gbps
  • FPGA HSIO and HVIO
  • Compact form factor of 60mm x 70mm
  • Industrial-grade support

Immanuel Rathinam, Vice President - System on Modules at iWave, expressed his enthusiasm: "The Intel Agilex 5 FPGA powered System on Module strikes a perfect balance in performance and power for advanced image processing, 5G wired/wireless, and edge AI applications, expediting time to market for our customers."

Deepali Trehan, Vice President at Intel, also shared her excitement: "iWave's adoption of the Intel Agilex 5 E-Series FPGA devices is thrilling. The iW-Rainbow-G58M System-on-Module and carrier board, with its rich features, provides a flexible platform for our customers to develop end solutions quickly and successfully."

iWave provides customers with an evaluation kit with the latest software packages to expedite their evaluation and time to market. The evaluation kit supports a range of connectors and interfaces, ensuring versatility and adaptability.
