Altera University Program Example Systems
Altera provides two types of examples: Computer Systems and Hardware Examples.
The Computer Systems were created using the SOPC Builder software, Nios
II and the University Program IP Cores. These
systems can be used to teach Computer Organization, without requiring the
students to have knowledge in HDL design. Also, they can be used as a starting
point for your own tailor made projects. The Hardware Examples were created to
demonstrate how to use one or more of the peripherals on the DE Boards.
Basic Computer System
Updated December 11, 2007
The DE Basic Computer is a system provided by Altera's University Program
that can be loaded onto the DE1/DE2 Boards. It is intended to be used as a
platform for introductory experiments in computer organization and embedded
systems. It contains the following components:
- Nios II/s processor
- SRAM
- On-chip Memory
- Red LED parallel port
- Green LED parallel port
- 7-segment displays parallel port
- Expansion parallel ports
- Slider switch parallel port
- Pushbutton parallel port
- JTAG UART
- Serial port (RS232 UART)
- Interval timer
- System ID
