HSR/PRP implementation project, which board is suitable

hello,

i am student in communication field. i am looking to make development on the high seamless redundant protocol (HSR). i would like anyone that can advice me what is the best first step to do. and if altera helps me or not.

what i want is FPGA card suitable for academical budget that contain at least 4 ethernet ports, in order to make possibilities to make all HSR nodes from danh to redbox and quad box.

Speed of this ports supports tri speed 10/100/1000 mbps or only 10/100.

and does altera give any certain of plans or design manuals?

thank you so much

    I've never heard of HSP/PRP so can't comment on them.

    The Terasic DE4 board is a PCIe card with 4x Marvel 10/100/1000 PHYs

    Its not "cheap", but perhaps you can contact the Altera University Program and ask them for academic pricing, or a hardware donation.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    thanks Dave we already checked that, ordering 8 pieces of that cannot be achieved. and this board is too much for such small project.

    i think altera products does not hold the solution.
