Introduction
The Coveloz Networked Pro Audio
SoC FPGA Development Kit offers a robust design platform built around the Altera Cyclone V System-On-Chip (
SoC) FPGA that combines the latest dual-core Cortex-A9 embedded processor with industry-leading programmable logic for ultimate design flexibility. The kit is an ideal platform for building scalable, cost-effective networked audio and processing solutions. At the heart of the pro-audio development platform is a highly integrated System-on-Module (SOM), featuring an Altera Cyclone V
SoC FPGA, which includes a dual-core ARM A9 processor, DDR3 memory, QSPI FLASH and a large FPGA fabric, all in a low cost and compact package. The kit features a multitude of network and audio interfaces, including three Gigabit Ethernet ports,
I2S Audio Codec, AES10/MADI, AES3/EBU, and TDM audio.

The Pro-Audio
SoC FPGA Development Kit supports the BACH-SoC FPGA firmware platform, which integrates performance, scalability and low-cost on a ready-to-play audio networking and processing platform. The Bach-SoC platform provides FPGA and Linux firmware, enabling customers to quickly build AVnu Certified AVB/TSN products and AES67/Ravenna products for the broadcast, pro-audio/video and automotive markets. The Bach-SoC platform is aimed at time-synchronized networks and includes grandmaster, PPS and word clock inputs and outputs as well as high quality timing references. Given its low cost, performance, and scalability, this platform is the ideal development environment for applications targeting:
- Live Sound
- Public Address & Conferencing systems
- Audio Post Production
- Music Creation
- Automotive Infotainment and ADAS
