Arria 10 SoC Development Module

Overview

The Intel Arria 10 SoC Development Platform is designed for rapid development of high performance networking applications or process intensive applications. All networking interfaces reside on one edge of the board while the control and power interfaces reside on the opposite edge. This connector arrangement allows the COTS Altera Arria 10 SoC Development Platform to be used inside a 1U enclosure for benchtop or rackmount installations for deployment into production. The board is powered from a single 12V power supply.
