Oak Tester - Single processor element test fixture allows debug and development of FPGA bitstreams in a desktop environment. Cooling and hotswap support are implemented in a fashion which supports direct probing of the card for diagnostic purposes. First build of the tester was from Red Oak, hence the name Oak Tester.
: Pine Tester - The pine tester supports a complete blade of 16 processor elements and a controller to be directly probed in a desktop environment. Airflow and 4KW of power is available to operate the blade under test. Wide input AC rectifiers allow the unit to run from dual 120V AC circuits, or a single 208-264 VAC circuit.
