Arria® 10 SX SoC Development Kit
The Arria® 10 SoC Development Kit offers a quick and simple approach for developing custom Arm* Development Studio (DS) for Altera® SoC FPGA processor-based SoC designs. Design productivity is one of the driving philosophies of Arria® 10 SoC architecture. Arria® 10 SoCs offer full software compatibility with previous generation SoCs, a broad ecosystem of Arm DS for Altera® SoC FPGA software and tools, and the enhanced FPGA and digital signal processing (DSP) hardware design flow.
With this kit, you can:
- Evaluate Arria® 10 SoC device features and performance.
- Begin development of your hardware and software design.
- Use as a platform for target reference designs, OS/BSP, and tools.
Arria® 10 SoCs have been designed to meet the performance and power requirements for mid-range applications such as:
- Wireless infrastructure equipment including remote radio unit and mobile backhaul**.
- Compute and storage equipment including flash cache, cloud computing, and acceleration**.
- Broadcast studio and distribution equipment including professional A/V and video conferencing**.
- Military guidance, control, and intelligence equipment**.
- Wireline 100G line cards, bridges and aggregation, 40G GPON**.
- Test and measurement equipment**.
- Diagnostic medical imaging equipment**.
- PCI Express* (PCIe*) 3.0 x8 lanes (endpoint or root port)**.
**Application-specific daughtercards, available separately, supporting a wide range of I/O and interface standards.
