Aller A7 is specifically designed for the development and integration of FPGA-based accelerated features into other larger designs, it can be used with laptops, desktops, and servers featuring standard 2280 M.2 form factor M-key slot.

Aller A7 is an easy-to-use M.2 form-factor FPGA Development Board featuring AMD Artix-7 FPGA with x4 PCIe Gen2 lanes on M.2 M-Key interface, Trusted Platform Module (TPM AT97SC3205), 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM and 512 Mb QSPI Flash Memory.

Nowadays, most of the new laptops come with M.2 M-key slots for NVMe storage modules and Aller can be seamlessly used with those slots. Open source PCI Express IP cores such as litepcie make the development of PCIe designs very cost-effective. The M.2 M-Key provides up to 4x PCIe lanes, each running at 5 GT/s (PCIe Gen 2) on Aller.

Note: Heat sink is mandatory when using Aller with heavy designs. Aller A7 ships with a standard heat sink which should be sufficient for most use cases.
Please refer to the Aller A7 User Manual for detailed information on temperature and heat dissipation.
