July 2012 Altera Corporation DSP Development Kit, Stratix V Edition
Reference Manual
1. Overview
This document describes the hardware features of the DSP Development Kit,
Stratix
® V Edition, including the detailed pin-out and component reference
information required to create custom FPGA designs that interface with all
components of the board.
General Description
The DSP Development Kit, Stratix V Edition provides a hardware platform for
developing and prototyping high-performance and high-bandwidth application
designs. The board provides a wide range of peripherals and memory interfaces to
facilitate the development of Stratix V DSP designs.
Two High-Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) connectors are available to add additional
functionality via a variety of HSMC cards available from both Altera
® and various
partners.
f
To see a list of the latest HSMC cards available or to download a copy of the HSMC
specification, refer to the
Development Board Daughtercards page of the Altera
website.
Design advancements and innovations, such as the PCI Express hard IP
implementation, partial reconfiguration, and programmable power technology
ensure that designs implemented in the Stratix V DSPs operate faster, with lower
power than in previous FPGA families.
