Altera

DK-A5E065AB32AEA: Agilex™ 5 FPGA and SoC E-Series Premium Development Kit (Group A Device)

PRODUCT PREVIEW, NOT AVAILABLE FOR ORDER

This is a complete platform for developing and validating high-performance FPGA and SoC designs. It integrates a wide array of connectivity options including dual QSFP and SFP28 ports, PCIe Gen4 via FMC+, USB 3.1, and multiple Ethernet interfaces. The kit supports three memory types—DDR4 for both FPGA and HPS, and LPDDR4 for high-speed data processing—making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications.

Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the kit includes a built-in FPGA Download Cable II, a robust Board Test System GUI, and support for expansion via HPS cards and FMC modules. With its rich I/O, programmable clocks, and advanced power and thermal monitoring, the Agilex 5 Premium Kit is well-suited for applications in networking, embedded vision, edge AI, and industrial automation.
