    The Cyclone III development board you have (DK-START-3C25N) features the same High Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) as the DK-DEV-3C120N development kit the SDALTEVK daughter board was originally promoted with.

    So, the SDALTEVK daughter board should simply plug onto the HSMC connector, J1. A quick look at the schematics for the two development boards shows the HSMC pinouts are the same.

    Refer to the hsmc specification (http://www.altera.com/literature/ds/hsmc_spec.pdf) for more details.

    What differences are you concerned about?

    Cheers,
