Altera Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Series Transceiver-SoC Development Kit
Terasic's Altera Agilex 7 SoC Development kit is a versatile solution for designing transceiver performance.
The Altera Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Series Transceiver-SoC development kit provides a comprehensive design environment, combining both hardware and software elements for the development of Altera Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Series designs. Specifically recommended for custom Arm processor-based SoC designs, this kit enables engineers to evaluate SoC designs with the hard processor system (HPS) and assess transceiver performance up to 58 Gbps for E-Tile. Key functionalities include the generation and checking of pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) patterns, dynamic adjustment of differential output voltage (VOD) pre-emphasis and equalization settings, and jitter analysis. The development board, featuring Altera Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Series, includes transceiver interfaces such as MXP, QSFP-DD, and QSFP28, along with various connectors for HPS daughtercards and memory interfaces.
