You are correct. You will need an HSMC breakout board. I actually have this one:

Interesting. What are those ICs on that breakout board? Do they provide some sort of protection/isolation or level translation or pull-ups or something?
Which board are you using with your card? Do you have a NEEK or the Cyclone III FPGA Starter Kit? I'm still deciding on exactly which kit to get, but I guess the NEEK is better because of the Nios software it comes with.

In addition, Since you are buying the NEEK and not the Cyclone III starter kit, note that you will have to remove that mezzanine card from the NEEK before you can attach any of these breakout boards. So don't plan on using any of the peripherals provided on the mezzanine card at the same time as your breakout card.

Yeah, I figured that that would be the case. A little disappointing, but it'll have to do. :)
