@azonenberg the number of people who can verify that a SERDES is behaving correctly is not that large.

@GyrosGeier I'll gladly help support the effort with PHY validation testing if someone gets to that point.

While I agree that's a medium-small to medium (at best) FPGA in the grand scheme of things, I still wince a bit :P.

@cr1901 I mostly mean "slow" as in "no 10/25G SERDES". Although I'm sure the fabric isn't as fast as e.g. Kintex-7 or UltraScale+.

But that's the class of FPGA most of my current and future projects are targeting.

@azonenberg @cr1901 CrossLink-NX still too slow?

azonenberg, 27 days ago

@whitequark @cr1901 No 10/25G NRZ SERDES, so yes.

All of my major upcoming projects will need 10/25/40/100GbE and/or 10 Gsps JESD204.
