Altera

The Agilex 7 FPGA I-Series Transceiver (6 × F-Tile) Development Kit (ES) is a high-performance platform tailored for evaluating and prototyping advanced transceiver applications. With six F-Tiles, it supports a wide range of high-speed connectivity standards including QSFPDD800, OSFP, and PCIe 4.0. The kit includes both soldered-down and DIMM-based DDR4 memory, enabling robust memory bandwidth for data-intensive workloads.

Connectivity is a central strength of this kit. It features 4 QSFPDD ports, 3 QSFP ports, 1 SFP ports, 1 OSFP port, and 2 FMC+ connectors, all routed through dedicated F-Tiles. The board also supports MCIO for PCIe 4.0 x4 and includes programmable clocking and power monitoring systems. With its integrated GUI tools, flexible configuration modes, and extensive I/O, this kit provides a comprehensive environment for developing and validating next-generation FPGA-based systems.
