The Arria® II GX FPGA Development Kit, 6G Edition delivers a complete system-level design environment with the hardware and software needed to immediately begin developing 6G FPGA designs. With this PCI-SIG®-compliant board and a one-year license for Quartus® Prime design software, you can:
Develop and test FPGA designs with transceivers supporting up to 6.375-Gbps data rates
Develop and test memory subsystems consisting of DDR2 and DDR3 memory
Develop and test designs based on other Arria II GX FPGA-supported protocol interfaces such as PCI Express® (PCIe®)1.0, Gbps Ethernet (GbE), SDI, CPRI, OBSAI, SAS/SATA, and Serial RapidIO®. Many of these are supported by taking advantage of this board's modular capability through the high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors and over 20 different HSMC connectors available through the follow companies.
Buyer represents that it is a product developer, software developer or system integrator and acknowledges that this product is an evaluation kit that is not FCC authorized, is made available solely for evaluation and software development, and may not be resold.
Other HSMC-compatible daughtercards, adapters, or cables are also available.
HSMC Interface
Altera developed the specification for the HSMC, which is based on the Samtec mechanical connector, to define and standardize the interface between optional daughtercards and host boards. This specification outlines both the electrical and mechanical properties of the interface between daughtercard and host. You can also create your own HSMC interface-compatible daughtercards.
