Development kit supports Cyclone III FPGAs

13 May 2009 Design Automation

New from Altera is the Embedded Systems Development Kit, Cyclone III FPGA Edition, a comprehensive platform that accelerates the prototyping and development of FPGA-based embedded systems.

This multiboard development kit features a Cyclone III EP3C120 high-density, low-cost FPGA and combines a robust set of onboard memories, I/O interfaces, peripherals and pre-built reference designs. With the recent release of Wind River Linux support for Altera’s Nios II soft processor, designers can use this hardware platform as a basis for developing embedded Linux designs.

The kit contains a selection of pre-built processor systems, intellectual property (IP), operating systems and software applications. Users create their FPGA-based embedded system by selecting from a multitude of onboard example processor systems, demonstration designs and reference designs. The kit includes Altera’s complete design suite DVD featuring the Quartus II Web Edition design software, ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition, the Nios II embedded design suite and Altera’s MegaCore IP library.

The development kit is a three-board solution that includes a Cyclone III FPGA development board, featuring two high-speed mezzanine connectors (HSMCs), an LCD multimedia HSMC board and a multipurpose HSMC card. The Cyclone III FPGA development board features an EP3C120F780 FPGA, 256 MBytes of dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM with ECC, 8 MBytes of pseudo SRAM, 64 MBytes of Flash and a 10/100/1000 Ethernet communication port.
