Honored ContributorI have just seen that your board is on the Altera's All Daughter Cards...
Am I write that Cyclone II Starter Development Kit can not connect to your board? As I could see, Cyclone II hasn't HSMC connector... I've seen that Cyclone III FPGA Starter Kit has HSMC connector (which provide 132 to 192 physical pins)... I have a few questions... What should I get additionally with your GPIB board (cables...)? As I am a beginner and I do not have experience with VHDL, do you have some additional software for configuring GPIB or GPIB2_FPGA.zip is enough? I plane to make most of algorithm in Quartus II Software - Schematic Design and to program directly to the FPGA... In which way Cyclone communicate with PC? Is there a need to use some JTAG emulator as for Texas Instruments microcontrollers or something else? Is there possibility to get your board with higer resolution of DAC, let say 12-/14-/16-bit (resolution of DACs is much more important than ADCs; ADCs should used to observe some analog signals for protecting function, and DAC should be use for controlling algorithm... Input data for DACs should come from FPGA, from the algorithm)... I have one more question... For my algorithm I need to use some impulses from some flip-flop (that impulses are used for power transistors driving). That impulses are unipolar signals (0 or 3.3V). Can I connect this signal to your GPIB board (GPIO Input or somewhere...) to use as a digital signal which I need for my algorithm, which should go to FPGA? Since there are not daughter cards which suit Altera Cyclone boards for my application (with a lot of DAC channels), I hope that your board will do great job... Thanks a lot for help! Nikola.
