INTEL/ALTERA FPGA cyclone iv sdk

Get started with programmable logic easily. The DueProLogic (DPL) is a comprehensive FPGA development system designed for electrical engineering students, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs. It combines the power of an Intel Cyclone IV FPGA with an Arduino Due-compatible form factor, making it the perfect bridge between discrete logic and modern microcontroller design. **Why Choose DueProLogic?** Stop spending hours wiring breadboards and debugging spaghetti circuits. The DPL allows you to focus on logic design and integration. With gate-level speeds in the hundreds of MHz and true parallel processing, the FPGA handles high-speed tasks that traditional microcontrollers struggle with. It is the ideal educational tool and prototyping platform for complex projects. **Key Features:** * **Processor:** Intel Cyclone IV /E FPGA (6,272 Logical Elements, 270Kbit RAM) * **Connectivity:** FTDI FT2232H chip for high-speed PC communication and board programming * **Clocks:** Dual oscillators (66MHz for USB comms, 100MHz for user circuits) * **Memory:** 4Mb Serial Configuration Flash (non-volatile) + SD Card Connector for expandable storage * **I/O:** 36 User LEDs, 2 User Pushbuttons * **Power:** On-board synchronous switching power supplies (1.2V for FPGA core, 3.3V for I/O and users) * **Compatibility:** Stackable headers compatible with Arduino Due and other ARM Cortex modules **Complete Development Environment:** The DPL comes with everything you need to start immediately: * **Software:** Fully supported by Intel Quartus Prime Lite (Free). * **Drivers:** Includes the EPT Blaster DLL, allowing Quartus to program the board directly via USB (just like a USB-Blaster). * **Runtime:** Includes the EPT ActiveHost core and GUI DLL, enabling easy data exchange between your PC (via Visual Studio or similar) and the FPGA at runtime. * **Documentation:** Comprehensive User Manual with step-by-step setup instructions. * **Bonus:** DVD included with drivers, datasheets, schematics, and sample projects. **Ideal For:** * Learning Digital Logic and HDL (Verilog/VHDL) * Embedded System Controls (e.g., simulating microwave ovens, home automation) * Robotics (precise, concurrent motor control) * Signal Processing (Video/Audio streams) * Rapid Prototyping of ARM+FPGA hybrid systems **What’s in the Box:** DueProLogic Board, USB Cable, and Downloadable DVD with full software suite. The board ships pre-loaded with a "Blinky" test pattern and is protected in static-control packaging. Plug in via standard Micro USB and start building your first FPGA project today!
