High-Speed Development Kit, Stratix GX Edition User Guide

The demonstration assumes that the Stratix GX development board is
connected through the HM-Zd connector on the source-synchronous side
to a development board from Intel or PMC-Sierra that includes the multi-
channel MAC device. For testing with Intel, you can use the IXD1110
development board with direct interconnect through the reciprocal HM-
Zd connectors. For PMC-Sierra, you can use an interposer card with the
PM2381-KIT development board to bridge the HM-Zd connector to the
Molex 74057-1001 connector used on the PMC-Sierra board.

f

Contact your local Altera representative for information on using a
PMC-Sierra interposer card with the development board.

To generate and monitor data traffic, you need an industry-standard
Gigabit Ethernet stimulus, capture, and analysis system. Optionally, you
can use an Agilent logic analysis system to probe the SPI-4.2 data in both
the receive and transmit directions.

Figure 8–1 illustrates the demonstration set-up using the Intel IXD1110
development board as an example.
