Intel®'s Arria® II GX FPGA development kit is a complete design environment that includes both the hardware and software you need to develop Arria II GX FPGA designs. The PCI-SIG-compliant board, and the one-year license for the Quartus® II software, provides everything you need to begin developing custom Arria II GX FPGA designs.

This kit will enable a user to:

• Develop and test PCI Express® (PCIe) designs.
• Develop and test memory subsystems consisting of DDR2 and DDR3 memories.
• Take advantage of the modular and scalable design by using the high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors to interface to over 30 different HSMCs provided by Intel partners, supporting protocols such as Serial RapidIO®, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, SONET, common public radio interface (CPRI), open base station architecture initiative (OBSAI) and others.
