Cyclone® V GT FPGA Development Kit

The Cyclone® V GT FPGA Development Kit can be used to prototype Cyclone® V GT FPGA or Cyclone® V GX FPGA applications. It offers a quick and simple way to develop low-cost and low-power FPGA system-level designs and achieve rapid results.

This kit supports a myriad of functionalities such as:

  • FPGA prototyping
  • FPGA power measurement
  • Transceiver I/O performance up to 5.0 Gbps
  • PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 x4 (at 5.0 Gbps per lane)
  • Endpoint or rootport support
