Yes, you need a separate Altera FPGA board to prototype Altera Arria II Gx FPGA.
Altera FPGA boards are supported starting in R2012a release. HDL Coder and HDL Verifier support the following Altera development boards. You can use the first one in the list to prototype Arria FPGA.
FPGA Radio Support from Communications System Toolbox is discontinued from R2017b and beyond. However, you can useZynq SDR Support from Communications System Toolbox to prototype and test Xilinx Zynq based software defined radio systems.
