Description

The Altera® Arria® 10 SoC Development Kit offers a quick and simple approach for developing custom ARM® processor-based SoC designs. Design productivity is one of the driving philosophies of the Arria 10 SoC architecture. The Arria 10 SoCs offers full software compatibility with previous generation SoCs, a broad ecosystem of ARM software and tools, and the enhanced FPGA and DSP hardware design flow.

With this kit, you can:

• Evaluate Arria 10 SoC device features and performance
• Begin development of your hardware and software design
• Use as a platform for target reference designs, OS/BSP, and tools

• Altera’s Arria 10 SoCs have been designed to meet the performance and power requirements for mid-range applications such as:

  • Wireless infrastructure equipment including remote radio unit and mobile backhaul*
  • Compute and storage equipment including flash cache, cloud computing, and acceleration*
  • Broadcast studio and distribution equipment including professional A/V and video conferencing*
