That looks like a Cyclone-IV board with no ARM cores, so it is not suitable for use as a controller board (vs. the Xilinx Zed series, the Digilent DE10-Nano SoC, and other SoC+FPGA boards). If you really want to use this board, you could try to get it running the Mesa 7i92 logic (which includes a soft-core CPU and connects to the machine control computer via Ethernet), but you'd be *WAY* ahead to just buy a 7i92 and save yourself many weeks of design work (the hostmot2 VHDL FPGA code will port directly to Altera, but I'm not sure about the soft-core CPU Peter uses in the 7i92 design): http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=302 -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
