Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Kit
from Altera Corporation
The Altera
®
Stratix
®
IV GX FPGA Development Kit delivers a complete system-level design environment that includes both the hardware and software needed to
immediately begin developing FPGA designs. With this PCI-SIG-compliant board and a one-year license for the Quartus
®
II design software, you can:
z Develop and test PCI Express 2.0 (up to x8 lane) endpoint and rootpoint designs
z Develop and test memory subsystems consisting of DDR3 and/or QDRII+ memory
z Build designs capable of migrating to Altera's low-cost HardCopy
®
IV ASICs
z Add other Stratix IV GX supported protocol interfaces such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet, CPRI, OBSAI, SAS/SATA, Serial RapidIO
®
and many others by taking
advantage of this board's modular capability through the high-speed mezzanine connectors (HSMC) and over 20 different HSMC cards available through
Altera partners.
