General Information

1. Description

The FPGA Board connects to your PC via a Terasic USB
Blaser which is then connected via a standard USB cable
to provide you with a low cost FPGA development board
and programmer which is both simple to setup and
use. The board is fully compatible with a wide range of
E-blocks which makes it an extremely exible platform
for learning and developing projects.

The FPGA Board allows in-circuit programming of
an ALTERA® FPGA Cyclone IV device. This board is
used together with Altera’s free and comprehensive
downloadable programming software, Quartus II. The
board can be programmed using various programming
techniques such as Schematic Entry, Block Diagram
and Hardware Description Languages (HDLs such as
AHDL, VHDL and Verilog). It provides ‘clean’ access to all
available I/O lines on the relevant FPGA device.

Further information on E-blocks is available in a separate
document entitled Introduction to E-blocks.doc.
