Altera Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Kit
The Altera Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Kit features hardware and software solutions for the rapid creation of designs using 40nm Stratix IV GX FPGAs with integrated 8.5-Gbps transceivers. The development kit is ideal for designing and testing high-speed serial interfaces — such as PCI Express (PCIe) Gen2, with up to x8-lane configurations. The Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Kit currently is now for $4,495.
The development kit features a Stratix IV GX EP4SGX230 FPGA-based development board, a one-year license of Quartus II Software Development Kit Edition, and access to Altera’s MegaCore IP library — including the Nios II Embedded Design Suite.
