ButterStick-r1.0-2G-25F ButterStick-r1.0-2G-85F ButterStick-r1.0-8G-85F
FPGA LFE5UM5G-25F-8BG381C LFE5UM5G-85F-8BG381C LFE5UM5G-85F-8BG381C
DDR3 2x MT41K64M16TW-107 2x MT41K64M16TW-107 2x MT41K256M16TW-107

The 25F also has the following limitations on the ButterStick:

  • 25F Only provides 2x SERDES lanes.
  • 25F does not connect I/O pins S8/S9 on SYZYGY.C
