A. Board Revision History
This appendix catalogs revisions to the Stratix IV GX transceiver signal integrity
development board.
Table A–1 lists the released versions of the Stratix IV GX transceiver signal integrity
development board.
Single-Die Flash Version Differences
The single-die flash version of the Stratix IV GX transceiver signal integrity
development board is created to replace the obsolete dual-die flash device with a
single-die flash device. The two flash devices are considered equivalent except for
some software routines used to access them because the single-die device has only
one CFI table whereas the duel-die device has two CFI tables.
To determine which flash your board is using, refer to the device part number
installed at U39. The single-die package is smaller than the dual-die version.
