Honored ContributorDE1 Board broken??!
Hello,
I added some extra hardware to the Terasic DE1 board by connecting it over the GPIO1 square header. When pressing the power button the board doesn't start up. When I remove my extra hardware it still powers up. However, I noticed that there are some pins not working anymore after trying my extra stuff :( I just drove all pins of GPIO1 high and measured that some pins aren't 3.3V! What's propably wrong with it and what can I do? PLEASE HELP:cry:15 Replies
Altera_ForumProbably FPGA is damaged but replacing it is not trivial.. check also onboard regulator

It was the default configuration which normally doesn't use the GPIO ports. - Altera_Forum
