The DSP Development Kit, Stratix^® V Edition provides a complete design environment that includes all the hardware and software you need to begin developing DSP-intensive FPGA designs immediately. The development kit is RoHS compliant. You can use this development kit to do the following:

• Develop and test PCI Express^® (PCIe^® ) designs at data rates up to Gen3 using the PCIe short card form factor-compliant development board
• Develop and test memory subsystems for DDR3 or QDR II memories
• Use the high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors to interface to one of over 35 different HSMCs provided by Altera partners, supporting protocols such as Serial RapidIO^® , 10-Gbps Ethernet, SONET, CPRI, OBSAI, and others
