The BeMicro CV is an Evaluation Board (EVB) based on Altera’s Cyclone V FPGA. For a very low cost, this EVB offers the opportunity to evaluate and test our VHDL designs.
On further entries of the blog, I will be including several projects based on this EVB.
The BeMicro CV board features the following major component blocks:
- One Cyclone V E FPGA (5CEFA2F23C8N) in a 484-pin FineLine BGA (FPGA)
- 25,000 LEs
- 9,434 adaptive logic modules (ALMs)
- 1,760 Kbit (Kb) M10K and 196 Kb MLAB memory
- 4 fractional phase locked loops (PLLs)
- 50 18×18-bit multipliers
- Hard Memory Controller (DDR3 Hard IP)
- 224 general purpose input/output (GPIO)
- 1.1-V core voltage
- FPGA configuration circuitry
- Active Serial (AS) x1 configuration (EPCS16I8N)
- Embedded USB-BlasterTM II for use with the Quartus® II Programmer
- Separate JTAG configuration header
- Clocking circuitry
- 50 MHz 1.8V oscillator
- 24 MHz 2.5V oscillator
- Memory
- 1Gbit DDR3 SDRAM (x16) – On board device
- 1K (128 x 8) Two-wire Serial EEPROM
- Micro SD card slot
- General user input / output
- 8 user LEDs
- User Pushbuttons
- User DIP switches
- Prototyping
- 2 Terasic 40 pin prototyping headers
- BeMicro SDK 80-pin card edge connector
- Micro SD card slot
- Power via USB or via user-provided 5V
