The BittWare 520N-MX board 100G QSFP28s are ideal for clustering, and OCuLink connectors allow expansion. The device supports both traditional HDL and higher abstraction C, C++, and OpenCL-based tool flows. The 520N-MX features a Board Management Controller (BMC) for advanced system monitoring and control, which streamlines platform integration and management.
