Hi, I was wondering if anyone has experiences using the Altera UP3-board with NiosII? Any comments are welcome. I'm looking for an educational board suitable for microprocessor designs and this seems to have the right peripherals. http://www.altera.com/education/univ/kits/unv-kits.html Mats |

Without an additional memory you will not have very much fun with NiosII or any other soft-core CPU. Martin ---------- JOP - a Java Processor core for FPGAs: http://www.jopdesign.com/ |

It has 128 kBytes SRAM and 8 MBytes SDRAM. Mats --- In , "Martin Schoeberl" <martin.schoeberl@c...> wrote: > > I was wondering if anyone has experiences using the Altera UP3- board > > with NiosII?

Its 200$ Its a tad small i agree, but it seems funcational enough, even comes with a complete SOC so its not too small to be useful.. Im thinking of getting one of these, while i wait on the 'upgrade' on the digiliant S3 board to happen ( figured i would wait for the 1mb chip instead of getting the 400k chip.. I'm in no big hurry.. ) http://www.cmosexod.com/fnd.htm |
