7135LB Series | Applications

Enabling Custom Applications

While FPGA applications can be challenging to develop, the Arista 7135LB makes them easy to deploy. Arista provides a built-in

application framework allowing developers to wrap applications into simple packages for deployment, streamlining operational

processes. Arista development toolkits enable complete and unfettered access to the facilities provided by the in-system FPGAs.

These are the same APIs and developer kits used by the Arista engineering team to develop and deploy our applications.
