IntroductionIntroduction

Introduction

Thank you for buying our product EDA-004.

EDA-004 is an evaluation board of Altera FPGA. It equipped with power circuit, reset

circuit, crystal, memory and configuration device. So it can provide you with very

convenient and easy-to-use environment.

For USB interface, it has FTDI FT2232H. Channel B of FT2232H is oriented for

FPGA configuration and channel A is configured for a user communication interface

by using FTDI’s virtual COM port and direct driver.

If you want to only configure the FPGA, you don’t need to prepare development

environment. But when you configure the “configuration ROM” and “FPGA internal

SPI ROM”, you need to prepare and use Xilinx oriented download cable.

Power Supply

This board operates from external 5.0V input. You can use external 5.0V input from

CNA and CNB. The external power supply should be sufficient and stabilized.

FT2232H operates in self-power mode. Please note that you can not use USB Bus

power. Internally required 3.3V, 2.5V and 1.2V are generated by on-boarded

regulators.

To develop and design FPGA internal circuit, you need to prepare circuit editor,

HDL editor or logic synthesis tool. These tools are provided by Altera as QuartusII.

When you use them, you need an internet license. The version of QuartusII when

EDA-004 developed is Ver.9.0.
