Arria® V SoC Development Kit and Intel® SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite

The Arria® V SoC Development Kit offers a quick and simple approach to develop custom Arm* processor-based SoC designs. Intel® FPGA’s midrange, transceiver-based Arria® V FPGA fabric provides the highest bandwidth with the lowest total power for midrange applications such as:

• Remote radio units¹
  
• 10G/40G line cards¹
• Medical imaging
• Broadcast studio equipment
• Acceleration of image- and video-processing applications¹
• PCI Express* (PCIe) Gen2 x4 lanes (endpoint or rootport)

¹Application-specific daughtercards, available separately, supporting a wide range of I/O and interface standards
