Terasic Technologies Stratix® 10 Sensor Processing Kit

Terasic Technologies Stratix® 10 Sensor Processing Kit is a high-performance platform designed for real-time sensor data processing and transmission. Powered by the Altera Stratix 10 TX FPGA, this kit enables high-throughput streaming of sensor data directly to GPU memory using NVIDIA Hololink IP and GPUDirect RDMA technology. This Terasic Technologies kit is ideal for rapid evaluation and development of Holoscan-compatible edge AI pipelines, addressing demanding applications in medical imaging, radar systems, industrial inspection, and scientific instrumentation.

To ensure low-latency, high-bandwidth communication, the system incorporates dual 100GbE links operating over RoCE v2. A VITA 57.4 FMC+ connector provides compatibility with a wide range of commercial sensor modules. When paired with an appropriate FMC+ sensor module, the platform supports JESD204C interfacing, high-speed digital-to-analog / analog-to-digital conversions, and multiple control interfaces such as SPI and LVDS.
