Hydra Board (Discontinued)

Hydra(ALTHYDRAC5GX) is I/O companion board for Renesas's 2nd generation Car Infortainment SoC "R-Car H2".

Using ALERA's Cyclone® V GX FPGA – the Lowest cost & Lowest power 28nm FPGA with  automotive temperature grade device, I/O function & image processing extensible platform of Car infotainment SoC for new interface or additional function.

Available for video interface cable, LVDS daughter card and Configuration card, these optional accessories enables to connect to Resesas's LAGER board of R-Car H2 and evaluate video input extension, new interface or none supported function in SoC.

Also, Hydra accepts stand-alone evaluation for FPGA verification purpose.
