from Altera
The DSP Development Kit, Stratix® V Edition provides a complete design environment that includes all the hardware and software you need to begin developing DSP-intensive FPGA designs immediately. The development kit is RoHS compliant. You can use this development kit to do the following:
- Develop and test PCI Express® (PCIe®) designs at data rates up to Gen3(1) using the PCIe short card form factor-compliant development board
- Develop and test memory subsystems for DDR3 or QDR II memories
- Use the high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors to interface to one of over 35 different HSMCs provided by Altera partners(2), supporting protocols such as Serial RapidIO®, 10 Gbps Ethernet, SONET, CPRI, OBSAI, and others
