PCB board fabrication and assembly

Statement of Work FPGA Interface Board Fabrication and Assembly Production A. Background/History of Requirement: NASA Ames is conducting advanced embedded systems and avionics development activities involving FPGA- based processing, high-speed communication interfaces, and distributed compute architectures. Key to this work is the development of a custom FPGA interface board capable of supporting Ethernet networking, USB boot/debug functionality, Raspberry Pi integration, and precision power monitoring in a compact embedded system. NASA seeks fabrication and assembly of 150 custom interface PCBs designed around the Enclustra Mars ZX3 FPGA module. These boards will support ongoing research and prototype system development activities related to advanced aerospace electronics and embedded processing architectures. B. Description of item(s) to be purchased: The items to be purchased are 150 assembled custom FPGA interface PCBs including fabrication, assembly, inspection, and electrical verification. The boards contain high-density FPGA interconnects, controlled- impedance differential routing, Ethernet magnetics integration, USB interfaces, precision power monitoring circuitry, and multiple embedded compute interfaces.
