Stratix V Development board with QSFP ports

Thanks for the reply again Dave

I have a DE0-nano board also that I have been practicing with for some time. I understand the fundamentals of FPGAs and have no problem in blinking LEDs and doing other somewhat more complex stuff with VHDL or block diagrams.

Now that we have this S5-PCIe-HQ, it's a new world. :-) Our aim is to learn how to use it and eventually have it for transferring data at high rates. How to create a PCIe interface that we can understand and test , we have still not had any success. Now we wish to try and use the QSFP+ ports to read in data from one and transmit out the other. To get anything basic working right now would be an achievement. So far we can just blink the LEDs on the board.

It would be great if there was some step-by-step training for this board or FPGA that could eventually bring us up to a good level of understanding but I assume that they expect users of such boards to be already experts.

Yes, It would be great to read that tutorial :-) Thanks

Cheers,

Paul
