Components and Interfaces
This section describes the development board's communication ports and interface
cards relative to the Arria II GX device. The development board supports the
following communication ports:
■ PCI Express
■ 10/100/1000 Ethernet
■ HSMC
PCI Express
The Arria II GX FPGA development board fits entirely into a PC motherboard with a
×8 PCI Express slot that can accommodate a full height long form factor add-in card.
This interface uses the Arria II GX device's PCI Express hard IP block, saving logic
resources for the user logic application.
f For more information on using the PCI Express hard IP block, refer to the PCI Express
Compiler User Guide .
The PCI Express interface supports auto-negotiating channel width from ×1 to ×4 to
×8 as well as the connection speed of Gen1 at 2.5 Gbps/lane for a maximum of
20 Gbps full-duplex.
