MNT Reform Kintex-7 FPGA Processor Module

A Versatile Module For Modern and Vintage Computers.

This is the open hardware system-on-module featuring the Xilinx/AMD Kintex-7 FPGA (XC7K160T or XC7K325T) and 2 GB DDR3 RAM. It can be used as an alternative to the main processor module in the MNT Reform open hardware laptop or in any other custom device. The idea is to test synthesized open cores such as LiteX (RISC-V, multi-architecture) in a real laptop. True emulation of vintage computer architectures in a laptop form factor is possible as well.

An RGB to eDP adapter to connect this module to MNT Reform's internal display is available separately.
