The Intel® Stratix® V GX FPGA Development Kit provides a complete design environment including the hardware and software you need to jump-start your FPGA design. This development kit is RoHS compliant.

feature

With this development kit you can:

  • Develop and test PCIe designs with data rates up to Gen3(*1) using PCI Express ® (PCIe ®) short card form factor compliant development boards
  • Develop and test subsystems composed of DDR3 or QDR II memory
  • High Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) connectors to interface with over 35 different HSMCs from Intel partners supporting Serial RapidIO ®, 10 Gps Ethernet, SONET, CPRI, OBSAI, and more

*1: You can purchase a daughter card, adapter, or cable (all options) compatible with the HSMC connector interface that can be used with the development kit.
