Cyclone® V SX SoC Development Kit

The Cyclone® V SoC Development Kit offers a quick and simple approach to develop custom ARM* processor-based SoC designs accompanied by Intel's low-power, cost-sensitive Cyclone® V FPGA fabric.

This kit supports a wide range of functions, such as:

  • Processor and FPGA prototyping and power measurement
  • Industrial networking protocols
  • Motor control applications*
  • Acceleration of image- and video-processing applications*
  • PCI Express (PCIe) x4 lane with ~1,000 MBps transfer rate (endpoint or rootport)

* Application-specific daughtercards, available separately, supporting a wide range of I/O and interface standards.
