A.5.4. CXL Interface

The Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA (two F-tiles) development 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 Intel 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.
