Stratix® V GX FPGA Development Kit

You can use this development kit to do the following:

• Develop and test PCI Express* (PCIe) designs at data rates up to Gen3. using the PCIe short card form factor-compliant development board
• Develop and test memory subsystems for DDR3, QDR II+, or RLDRAM II memories.
• Use the high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors to interface to one of over 35 different HSMCs provided by partners, supporting protocols, such as Serial RapidIO®, 10 Gbps Ethernet, SONET, CPRI, OBSAI, and others.
