Information Table 1–1 provides information about this release of the DSP Development
Kit, Cyclone II Edition.
Introduction The DSP Development Kit, Cyclone II Edition provides everything you need
to develop complete system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) solutions.
This document describes how to install the software provided with the
kit, how to connect the Cyclone™ II DSP development board to your PC,
and how to test the board.
Kit Contents The DSP Development Kit, Cyclone II Edition includes:
■ Cyclone II DSP development board—a prototyping platform that allows
you to develop high-performance digital signal processing (DSP)
designs. Key features of the Cyclone II DSP development board
include a EP2C70 FPGA, high-speed analog-to-digital (A/D) and
digital-to-analog (D/A) converters, and connectors for the Spectrum
Digital DSP Starter Kit (DSK) for the TMS320C6416, Revision E.
f
For detailed information about the components and interfaces included
on the Cyclone II DSP development board, and about their locations on
the board, refer to the Cyclone II DSP Development Board Reference Manual.
■ DSP Builder Version 6.0.1 CD-ROM—DSP system design in Altera
®
devices requires both high-level algorithms and hardware
description language (HDL) development tools. Altera’s DSP
Builder is a system-level DSP design tool that provides an interface
between the MathWorks MATLAB/Simulink software and the
Altera Quartus
®
II software. DSP Builder integrates these tools by
combining the algorithm development, simulation, and verification
capabilities of the MATLAB/Simulink system-level design tools
with Altera’s HDL synthesis, simulation, and place-and-route tools.
