Information :
The Niomite
module allows
implementation of FPGA logic functions and/or Altera Nios II processor
operation in the smallest possible form factor. Niomite provides the following circuits to support a
small footprint FPGA based controller:
 |
512K X 8 SRAM |
 |
EP1S4 FPGA serial loader
(FPGA and Nios II
boot) |
Niomite modules also supports the
specification
(master or slave half card, 60 pin), and can interface with other
modules designed to that specification. The Niomite kit includes an FPGA programmer and power supply, and provides all the
hardware items which are necessary to start designing with and
evaluating the powerful features of Altera® Cyclone II FPGA devices.
Module Details :
- Altera EP2C5 or EP2C8 Cyclone II FPGA,
in –C8 speed grade and
144 pin TQFP package.
- Separate programming ports (ASMI flash interface and JTAG
interface).
- Reset
and voltage monitor IC which provides 400mS reset pulse.
- Reset push-button switch.
- 44 input/output and 7 input pins available.
- 1 discrete indicator LED (green).
- Clock oscillator (25 MHz).
-
compatible
design.
- EPCS4 (4Mbit) serial flash for FPGA configuration (and Nios II
software).
- 512K x 8 bit (4Mbit) SRAM for
Nios II program execution and
dynamic data storage.
Quartus II Starter Design
:
-
Created using Quartus II ver. 6.0 SP1Nios II processor defined
-
All module pins are defined in top level
schematic project file
-
Memory test with results indicated to LED
-
FPGA load from EPCS4
Note: The starter design
available for download from this website was created using Quartus II
ver. 6.0 SP1. Some user modification of the starter design may be
required to support compilation under later versions of Quartus II.
Quartus II "web edition" is available for download from the Altera
website.
