PROPOSED KIT Unbuilt · Hardware validation pending · No purchase available
Connect one defined acquisition task to a reproducible host recording workflow.
For an engineering or research team that already has a Nereid K7 and a concrete FMC acquisition task.
An FMC connector does not establish that a particular converter, clock arrangement and host recorder work together. The useful unit is the complete named configuration, including its limits.
Request a pilot for this boardResearch price for a defined release and support scope. Hardware, custom integration and any applicable taxes are excluded. Final scope and terms are undecided. No payment or commitment now.
PROPOSED PATH / NOT A TEST RESULT
Framing and checks would have an explicit boundary. Source correctness and transport correctness are separate questions.
- Numato Nereid K7 · exact FPGA variant required
- Documented Gen2 x4 · FMC HPC
- One FMC / clock / host profile to agree
THE PACKAGE WE WANT TO TEST
A small workflow.
Enough evidence to repeat it.
These are proposed deliverables to refine with pilot users, not features already implemented.
Reference build
Our integration source and a reproducible build manifest for the agreed board/tool profile.
Linux recorder
A focused host workflow that preserves the framed data and records its configuration.
Python reader
A small example for inspecting the capture format and the checks associated with it.
Explicit data checks
Sequence and corruption checks plus overflow reporting at a documented boundary.
Repeatable acceptance
Known-pattern tests, process interruption and start/stop cases with honest pass/fail/unknown results.
A defined support scope
Exact versions, dependencies, measured limits and exclusions—established during the pilot.
EXACT SCOPE BEFORE A CLAIM
Define the boundary.
Then test the whole path.
The first experiment
Establish a generated-pattern transport baseline, then agree one input module and its clock, data format and continuous/burst behavior. Measure the complete recording path under defined conditions.
One named FMC module and clocking arrangement; no broad daughterboard compatibility claim.
What the checks would establish
A transport integrity check is separate from converter accuracy, clock quality and sample synchronization. Those need their own agreed measurement scope and hardware.
There is no benchmark, supported board matrix, real capture sample or guaranteed repair result from Header7F for this concept yet.
HARDWARE CONTEXT
Build on what exists.
Numato already provides a DMA example. Board supply, exact FPGA variant, FMC compatibility and the input module are prerequisites to a pilot. No universal FMC compatibility is proposed.
Board context: Gen2 x4 · PCIe add-in card with FMC HPC. These are manufacturer-described capabilities, not our measured results.
Manufacturer / board documentationBoard facts reviewed 18 October 2026. Header7F is an independent project; this page does not imply manufacturer endorsement.
HOW A PILOT WOULD START
Describe the real need.
Board access, data source, host setup and the capture problem you actually have.
Choose one configuration.
We discuss fit and define evidence and acceptance criteria before offering paid work.
Review a working result.
A source-based demonstration and clear limits should precede any released-kit claim.
A few practical questions.
Can I download or buy the kit today?
No. This page tests interest in a proposed product. There is no supported release, delivery date or checkout. An enquiry is not an order.
What does the $799 target include?
It is a software-only team-price hypothesis for the stated bounded workflow. Team definition, source/deployment rights, included help, update period and final terms still need agreement. Hardware and custom ports are separate.
Will this fix unknown header type 7f?
It is not a general hardware repair tool. A usable PCIe endpoint is a prerequisite to recording. Use our free diagnostic guide to investigate an inaccessible device.
Do I need to share private data or RTL?
No. A short description of the task and non-confidential configuration is enough for the initial request. The form accepts no uploads.
