ARRIA 10 GX FPGA
DEVELOPMENT KIT
Introduction
You can use this development kit to:
• Develop and test PCI Express® (PCIe®) 3.0 designs using the PCI-SIG®-compliant development board.
• Develop and test memory subsystems consisting of DDR4, DDR3, QDR IV*, and RLDRAM III memories.
• Develop modular and scalable designs by using the FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) connectors to
interface to a FMC mezzanine card provided by Altera partners and supporting protocols, such as
JESD204B, Hybrid Memory Cube, Bandwidth Engine 2, Serial RapidIO®, 10-Gbps Ethernet (10GbE),
SONET, Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), OBSAI, and many others.
