1. About This Kit
The Altera ® Stratix ® IV GT 100G Development Kit is a complete design environment
that includes both the hardware and software you need to develop Stratix IV GT
FPGA designs. The following list describes what you can accomplish with the kit:
■ Test signal quality of the FPGA transceiver I/Os (up to 11.3 Gbps)
■ Develop and test optical networking interfaces such as CFP, quad small-form-
factor pluggable (QSFP), and small form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) interface
■ Develop embedded designs utilizing the Nios ® II processor and the SSRAM
memory
■ Develop and test network designs utilizing the Gigabit Ethernet PHY and the
FPGA transceivers
■ Develop FPGA designs for high-performance applications
■ Measure the FPGA's power consumption
