PCI Development Kit, Cyclone II Edition Getting Started User Guide is the user guide of the PCI Development Kit product from Altera Corporation
The Altera PCI Development Kit Cyclone II Edition provides a complete platform for developing and testing PCI and PCI‑X bus interfaces, DDR2 SDRAM, and 10/100 Ethernet using the Cyclone II EP2C35 FPGA. The kit includes the development board, Quartus II Development Kit Edition software, MegaCore IP library, and reference designs.
This guide walks you through inspecting the board, installing required hardware and software, licensing the MegaCore functions, configuring the Cyclone II device, and using the provided Windows demo application to perform PCI transactions. It also covers how to modify the board’s flash configuration and use the kit as a prototyping platform for custom designs.
| FPGA Device | Cyclone II EP2C35 |
|---|---|
| Reference Design | PCI‑to‑DDR2, 64‑bit, 66 MHz |
