Arria II GX FPGA Development Kit
Altera Corporation
The Altera Arria II GX FPGA Development Kit
delivers a complete system-level design environment
that includes both the hardware and software needed
to immediately begin developing FPGA designs. With
this PCI-SIG-compliant board and a one-year license
for Quartus II design software, you can:

designs
• Develop and test memory subsystems consisting of
DDR2 and/or DDR3 memory
• Develop and test designs based on other Arria II
GX supported protocol interfaces such as Gigabit
Ethernet, SDI, CPRI, OBSAI, SAS/SATA, and
Serial RapidIO.
