BANG! ERIC5 is here!

If you are interested in a small soft-core-CPU, please visit www.entner-electronics.com (http://www.entner-electronics.com) (product-section). Its performance is of course not comparable with the Nios, but it is very small (between 100 http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif and 200 LEs (depending on the configuration) in a Cyclone, 60MHz with the slowest speed-grade). If you like, it is the counterpart to PicoBlaze for Altera.

I hope you find it interesting. We will also show this core running on the Embedded World 2005 fair in Nürnberg (Germany) at the end of February.

Regards

Thomas

    Now you can download a simple evaluation for ERIC5 from our homepage (note: you should also download the updated preliminary datasheets). It contains a .sof-File that can be programmed onto the Nios-Kit, 1C20-Edition (LCD-display has to be attached) and allows you to assemble and download some test-programs.

    Regards,
