Hello Dave,

Thanks for your reply. This is the board I have.

Neither website has the "Development Kit" or "Kit installation" download options with all the configuration programs, etc., that are needed to properly setup the device; there are only user manuals and a NIOS file.

Take a look at the next model's website: the Cyclone III FPGA Starter Board, and look at the downloads section you'll clearly see the "Kit installation" download option that contains everything needed. This is not available for the Cyclone II on the website.

Thanks again
