Overview

The Stratix^® V GX FPGA Development Kit provides a complete design environment that includes all the hardware and software you need to begin developing FPGA designs immediately. 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
