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.

  8. 32I/Os_3 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules
  9. 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.
  10. SDRAM interface
    • for connecting SDRAM accessory board
    • also works as FPGA CPLD pins expansion connectors
  11. LCD interface, for connecting LCD22, LCD12864, LCD1602
  12. ONE-WIRE interface: easily connects to ONE-WIRE devices (TO-92 package), such as temperature sensor (DS18B20), electronic registration number (DS2401), etc.
  13. 5V DC connector - 2.1mm barrel
  14. Joystick: five positions
  15. Buzzer
  16. Potentiometer: for LCD22 backlight adjustment, or LCD12864, LCD1602 contrast adjustment
  17. Power switch
  18. Buzzer jumper
  19. ONE-WIRE jumper
  20. Joystick jumper

For jumpers 17-19:

  • short the jumper to connect to I/Os used in example code
  • open the jumper to connect to other custom pins via jumper wires
