Components and Transceiver Interfaces
This section describes the starter board's communication ports and interface cards
relative to the Cyclone IV GX device. The starter board supports the following
communication ports:
■ PCI Express
■ 10/100/1000 Ethernet
■ Transceiver SMA connectors (optional)
PCI Express
The Cyclone IV GX Transceiver starter board fits entirely into a PC motherboard with
a ×1 PCI Express slot which can accommodate a half height low-profile PCI Express
add-in card. The starter board comes with a full height I/O bracket for its low profile
form factor card. This interface uses the Cyclone IV GX device's PCI Express hard IP
block, saving logic resources for the user logic application.
