Welcome to the Altera Cyclone II FPGA Starter Development Kit, which
includes a full-featured field-programmable gate array (FPGA)
development board, hardware and software development tools,
documentation, and accessories needed to begin FPGA development.
The development board includes an Altera Cyclone II 2C20 FPGA and
comes preconfigured with a hardware reference design stored in flash
memory. Hardware designers can use the development board as a
platform to prototype complex embedded systems.
The Development Kit provides the user with an integrated control
environment that includes a software controller in C++, a USB command
controller, a multi-port SRAM/SDRAM/flash memory controller, and
demonstration circuitry specified in Verilog code. These features enable
users to implement and test designs without the need to implement
complex application programming interfaces (APIs), host control
software, or SRAM/SDRAM/flash memory controllers.
