Altera EP4C FPGA NIOS II evaluation development board
Simple way to get started with Altera FPGA. This kit features a main board, a core board mounting an Altera EP4CE10 FPGA and expansion ports for a range of peripherals. Accessory package A and B have a wide range of suitable plug-in accessories, all with sample code etc.Kit does not include a programmer and debugger, which is available separately - see product accessories below.
Simple Expansion
The main board has connections for your own peripherals or a wide range of accessory boards. These just plug-in to the main board making this a truly modular system. Demo (Verilog | VHDL | NIOS) Code is available for all peripherals, making ideal for Nios II development.
Motherboard Details
- FPGA CPLD core board connector: for easily connecting core boards which integrate an FPGA CPLD chip onboard
- 8I/Os_1 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
- 8I/Os_2 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
- 16I/Os_1 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
- 16I/Os_2 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
- 32I/Os_1 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
- 32I/Os_2 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
- 32I/Os_3 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules All these I/O interfaces above:
- capable of being simulated as USART, I2C, SPI, PS/2, etc.
- capable of driving devices such as FRAM, FLASH, USB, Ethernet, etc.
- SDRAM interface
- for connecting SDRAM accessory board
- also works as FPGA CPLD pins expansion connectors
- LCD interface, for connecting LCD22, LCD12864, LCD1602
- ONE-WIRE interface: easily connects to ONE-WIRE devices (TO-92 package), such as temperature sensor (DS18B20), electronic registration number (DS2401), etc.
- 5V DC connector - 2.1mm barrel
- Joystick: five positions
- Buzzer
- Potentiometer: for LCD22 backlight adjustment, or LCD12864, LCD1602 contrast adjustment
