Apollo Developer Kit - Intel Stratix 10 SoC FPGA Development Kit

Description

Apollo Developer Kit is a development kit with the Apollo S10 module and the Apollo Carrier Board.

Apollo S10 SoM is an evaluation module that uses the latest Intel Stratix 10 SoC processor with 2800K logic elements. It allows high calculation speed with low power consumption. Combining a number of high-class hardware interfaces, such as high-performance and broadband DDR4 SDRAM memory (up to 64 GB), built-in USB-Blaster II, Ethernet, microSD, miniUSB and expandable FMC/FMC+ connectors, the kit provides more than twice as much performance as the development kits of the previous one generation.

The module has been designed for high-performance solutions for FPGA prototyping and HPC solutions. Apollo S10 SoM offers unsurpassed performance and energy efficiency in a small package, and provides increased performance over processors for critical loads such as simulation acceleration, molecular dynamics, machine learning.

The base board allows you to expand the module's capabilities with a QSFP + 40 Gb/s connector and Thunderbolt 3 for the purpose of developing the I/O planned for their systems and build your own systems around them. The module is plugged into the base board using the FMC and FMC+ connectors.
