This document is the user guide of Altera Arria II GX FPGA Development Kit.
The Altera Arria II GX FPGA Development Kit is described as a complete design environment that includes hardware and software for developing Arria II GX FPGA designs. The kit includes an Arria II GX FPGA development board running on the Arria II GX EP2AGX125 FPGA, power supply and cables, an HSMC loopback board, and an HSMC debug breakout board.
The guide covers inspecting the board, installing the Quartus II Subscription Edition Software and kit installer, setting up the board with factory default switch settings, connecting to the Board Update Portal, running the Board Test System, and programming the flash memory device. It also notes that the kit includes a one-year license for the Quartus II software on the Windows platform.
