the Arria GX Development Kit CD-ROM) for information on the board
components.
Hardware Requirements
To run the pre-installed demo application design requires only a single
computer, Computer #1, with a x4 PCI Express slot to hold the Arria GX
development board.
For application development, however, it is best to also use a second
computer, Computer #2, that is loaded with the Quartus II software as a
programming host. This setup provides the flexibility needed for
downloading different device programming files to the development
board.
