Altera has announced the availability of the Arria II GX FPGA development kit.
The kit features hardware and software resources that enable customers to evaluate and adopt Arria II GX devices, Altera’s mid-range 40 nm FPGAs, for implementing a wide range of high-performance digital functions in communications, broadcast, computer and storage, test and measurement, medical and military applications.
The development kit reduces development time by providing a complete system of pre-verified components and supporting hardware reference designs. For example, it offers an entire PCI Express (PCIe) Gen1 end-point design package, featuring a PCI-SIG-compliant Arria II GX FPGA-based development board with an embedded PCIe Gen1 hard intellectual property (IP) core. A wide range of development resources are available on the Altera website, including free PCIe training, PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and SDI-based reference designs to help designers get up-to-speed quickly, and a database of over 20 readily available mezzanine cards to address specific application and market needs.
The kit comes complete with a development board featuring an Arria II GX (EP2AGX125EF35) FPGA with 12 transceivers, a one-year licence for Quartus II Design Software, Development Kit Edition and access to Altera’s MegaCore IP library including the Nios II Embedded Design Suite.
Arria II GX FPGAs provide customers with industry-leading innovations, including up to 16 3,75 Gbps transceivers, 256 K logic elements (LEs) and 8,5 Mbits of internal RAM. Arria II GX devices are targeted for applications using mainstream transceiver protocols including PCIe, GbE, triple-speed SDI, CPRI, GPON and XAUI.
