The AL001 development board provides a complete hardware environment for designers to accelerate their time to market.The kit delivers a stable platform to develop and test designs targeted to the low-cost and low-power EP4CE6 FPGA. The installed EP4CE6 device offers a prototyping environment to effectively demonstrate the enhanced benefits of low-cost Cyclone IV FPGA solutions. Reference designs are included with the kit to exercise standard peripherals on the evaluation board for a quick start to device familiarization.
The AL001 development board contains the following individual pieces:
●The AL001 development board
●USB 2.0 cable
●Example Source Code
●AL001 Development Board Users Manual
●Transparent protection board
Please note that this kit does NOT include a FPGA programming cable.
Figure 1 gives the block diagram of the AL001 development board. To provide maximum flexibility for the user, all connections are made through the EP4CE6 FPGA device. Thus, the user can configure the FPGA to implement any system design.
