Cyclone® V SX SoC Development Kit

Altera

The Cyclone V SoC Development Kit is a comprehensive platform for embedded system development, combining a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with FPGA fabric in a single SoC. Designed for rapid prototyping and evaluation, the kit includes a rich set of peripherals and interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB OTG, CAN, UART, and PCIe, along with 1 GB DDR3 memory for both the HPS and FPGA domains. The onboard HSMC connector supports high-speed transceivers, LVDS, and CMOS signaling, making it ideal for custom expansion and high-bandwidth applications.

Connectivity is a standout feature of this kit. It supports SDI video output, SMA connectors for clock and signal input/output, and a character LCD for user interaction. The Board Test System GUI and Board Update Portal simplify testing and configuration, while the integrated power monitor and clock control tools provide real-time insight into system performance. Whether you're developing embedded Linux ...
