High-Speed Development Kit, Stratix GX Edition User Guide
The demonstration assumes that the Stratix GX development board is 
connected through the HM-Zd connector on the source-synchronous side 
to a development board from Intel or PMC-Sierra that includes the multi-
channel MAC device. For testing with Intel, you can use the IXD1110 
development board with direct interconnect through the reciprocal HM-
Zd connectors. For PMC-Sierra, you can use an interposer card with the 
PM2381-KIT development board to bridge the HM-Zd connector to the 
Molex 74057-1001 connector used on the PMC-Sierra board.
f
Contact your local Altera representative for information on using a 
PMC-Sierra interposer card with the development board.
To generate and monitor data traffic, you need an industry-standard 
Gigabit Ethernet stimulus, capture, and analysis system. Optionally, you 
can use an Agilent logic analysis system to probe the SPI-4.2 data in both 
the receive and transmit directions.
Figure 8–1 illustrates the demonstration set-up using the Intel IXD1110 
development board as an example.
