1. About This Kit
The Altera
®
Stratix
®
V GX FPGA Development Kit is a complete design environment
that includes both the hardware and software you need to develop Stratix V GX
FPGA designs. The following list describes what you can accomplish with the kit:
■ Test signal quality of the FPGA transceiver I/Os (10 Gbps+).
■ Develop and test PCI Express
®
(PCIe) 3.0 designs.
■ Develop and test memory subsystems consisting of SyncFlash, DDR3, and
QDRII+.
■ Develop and test SDI with the embedded 75-ohm 3G SDI transceivers.
■ Develop embedded designs utilizing the Nios
®
II processor and external memory.
■ Develop and test network designs utilizing Triple Speed Ethernet MegaCore
®
and
external RJ-45 jack.
■ Develop and test optical networking designs using
■ 10G and 40G Ethernet MAC MegaCores.
■ Quad small form factor pluggable (QSFP) optical interface.
■ Take advantage of the modular and scalable design by using the high-speed
mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors to interface to over 40 different HSMCs
provided by Altera partners, supporting protocols such as Serial RapidIO
®
,
10 Gigabit Ethernet, SONET, Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), Open Base
Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) and others.
■ Measure the FPGA's power consumption.
■ Control twelve different programmable clock oscillators using the Clock Control
GUI.
Kit Features
This section briefly describes the Stratix V GX FPGA Development Kit contents.
Hardware
The Stratix V GX FPGA Development Kit includes the following hardware:
■ Stratix V GX FPGA development board—A development platform that allows you
to develop and prototype hardware designs running on the Stratix V GX FPGA.
f For detailed information about the board components and interfaces, refer
to the Stratix V GX FPGA Development Board Reference Manual.
■ HSMC loopback board—A daughtercard that allows for loopback testing all
signals on the HSMC interface using the Board Test System.
