19 years agoAlthough the DE1 and DE2 share many hardware features, they are DIFFERENT boards. They have the same amoiunt and type of SDRAM (8MB, x16 bit wide), so the SDRAM-controller for the DE2 should, in principle, work on the DE1.
If you are experienced in VHDL, you can also take and modify the XSASDRAMCNTL ("Pipelined SDRAM Controller") module (from http://www.xess.com/ho03000.html) to work with the Altera DE1-board. That block was originally for the Xilinx Spartan 3, so you'll need to edit out some hardware-specific components from the controller VHDL module(s)
