Information :
The
Quicgate module allows implementation of general logic
functions and/or Altera Nios II processor operation in a
compact form
factor module. The module provides the following circuits to
support an FPGA based controller:
 |
256K X 16 SRAM |
 |
EP1S4 FPGA serial loader (FPGA and Nios II
boot) |
 |
4 Mbit serial flash |
 |
RS-232 link |
Quicgate modules also supports the
specification
(master or slave standard card, 128 pin), and can interface with other
modules designed to that specification. The Quicgate 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.
- Separate programming ports (ASMI flash interface and JTAG
interface).
- Reset and voltage monitor IC which provides 400mS reset pulse.
- Reset push-button switch.
- 110 input/output pins available.
- 3 discrete indicator LED (red, yellow, green).
- Clock oscillator (25 MHz).
-
compatible
design.
- EPCS4 (4Mbit) serial flash for FPGA configuration (and Nios II
software).
- 256K x 16 bit (4Mbit) SRAM for Nios II program execution and
dynamic data storage.
- One RS-232 interface.
-
4 Mbit serial flash for data storage.

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.
