1. About This Kit
The Altera ® DSP Development Kit, Stratix ® V Edition, is a complete design
environment that includes both the hardware and software you need to develop
Stratix V GS FPGA designs. The following list describes what you can accomplish
with the kit:
■ Test Altera's optimized variable-precision digital signal processing (DSP) block
(part of the Stratix V FPGA architecture), which supports various datapath
precisions ranging from 9-bit x 9-bit up to single-precision floating point within a
single block (while maintaining performance and low power).
■ Develop DSP algorithms in a high-level model-based flow using Altera's DSP
Builder Advanced Blockset with MathWorks' MATLAB & Simulink tools.

“References” on page 2–2 .
■ Test signal quality of the FPGA transceiver I/Os (10 Gbps+).
■ Develop and test PCI Express ® (PCIe) 3.0 designs.
■ Develop and test memory subsystems consisting of SyncFlash, DDR3, and
QDRII+.
■ Develop and test SDI with the embedded 75-ohm 3G SDI transceivers.
■ Develop embedded designs utilizing the Nios ® II processor and external memory.
■ Develop and test network designs utilizing Triple Speed Ethernet MegaCore ® and
external RJ-45 jack.
■ Develop and test optical networking designs using the 10-Gbps and 40-Gbps
Ethernet MAC MegaCores and the QSFP Optical Interface.
■ Take advantage of the modular and scalable design by using the high-speed
mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors to interface to over 40 different HSMCs
provided by Altera partners, supporting protocols such as Serial RapidIO
® ,
10 Gigabit Ethernet, SONET, Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), Open Base
Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) and others.
■ Measure the FPGA's power consumption.
■ Control twelve different programmable clock oscillators using the Clock Control
GUI.
