Altera Cyclone I 1C6 FPGA board giveaway

Post by shanevi » Fri Aug 01, 2014 6:23 pm

Hi,

Whilst rummaging through my massive parts dumpster I came across my first FPGA experimenters board. It is only a Cyclone 1C6 (need Quartus ~ v9.0) which I do not wish to downgrade nor have a furthur use for this board. It still works as have just tested it with it's test program :)
I am willing to give this board away (It only cost me $80 a few years ago) - Just a genuine interest in FPGAs :)

It contains:
16x2 Backlit Blue LCD Hitachi interface
VGA Output (R3,G3,B2)
CY7C1019CV33 1Mbit SRAM (128kB x 8 organisation)
8 digit 7seg display
4 pushbuttons
8 LEDs
2x PS2 ports
1x RS232 Serial Port
USB or DC jack powered

Need JTAG programmer to program. I haven't a spare one on hand but they're less than AUD$10

If anyone (local) is interested in starting out with FPGAs, this is a cheap easy way to start. I have all documents and Quartus II Web edition can be downloaded free (<v9 I think is needed to support Cyclone I chips)

Maybe you could hold onto it for a little while. As re get a little bigger, there may be somone who is interested.

Maybe it could go into the groups stock of toys for the future. (not that we have one yet, this could be the first donation.... :) ) It might be good to have one around when you're giving us a demonstration, maybe someone might like to give it a go.

Yes good Idea as I have a few boards here that people can use as well, a hardware library so to speak.

Once I sort out my own junk from the boot of my old car, I'm sure I'll find some more "Good Junk.

What do you use it for and how?
I know everything about nothing.
