Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Series Transceiver-SoC Development Kit

Terasic's Intel Agilex 7 SoC Development kit is a versatile solution for designing transceiver performance.

The Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Series Transceiver-SoC development kit provides a comprehensive design environment, combining both hardware and software elements for the development of Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Series designs. Specifically recommended for custom Arm processor-based SoC designs, this kit enables engineers to evaluate SoC designs with the hard processor system (HPS) and assess transceiver performance up to 58 Gbps for E-Tile. Key functionalities include the generation and checking of pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) patterns, dynamic adjustment of differential output voltage (VOD) pre-emphasis and equalization settings, and jitter analysis. The development board, featuring Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA F-Series, includes transceiver interfaces such as MXP, QSFP-DD, and QSFP28, along with various connectors for HPS daughtercards and memory interfaces.

Features:

  • SoC Evaluation: Evaluate SoC designs with the integrated hard processor system (HPS).
  • High-Speed Transceiver Performance: Assess transceiver performance up to 58 Gbps for E-Tile.
  • PRBS Pattern Generation: Generate and check pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) patterns for signal testing.
  • Dynamic VOD Adjustment: Dynamically change differential output voltage (VOD) pre-emphasis and equalization settings.
  • Comprehensive Software Suite: Includes a one-year license for the Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition, Intel SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite (EDS), and an optional three-year Arm Development Studio (DS).
