Operation

This section describes the board’s operation, providing detailed
component descriptions.

Cyclone II Device

The Cyclone II device (U9) is connected to all of the board’s components
through appropriate on-chip interfaces and board circuitry. The device
supports PCI and PCI-X bus interfaces, the DDR2 SDRAM, as well as the
10/100 Ethernet. Users can program the Cyclone II device to implement
custom designs.
