New MemberSchematics/layout for TerasIC SoCKit rev. D with Cyclone V
Greetings!
I am working with an ALTERA/TerasIC SoCKit development board for Cyclone V. I've downloaded the "SoCKit CD-ROM ( rev. D Hardware )" archive from www.terasic.com.tw, but it does not contain schematics or PCB layout files.
What I want to do is access ~8 GPIO pins on the board, but it does not have a GPIO header. So I can either solder to the mysterious "AD-DA HDR" connector plus some LEDs/switches, or connect to one of the 3 groups of pins on the wide HSMC (one has 20 differential pairs, the other two have 60 pins each) using a Samtek connector. To do that, I need to know how the pins on the SoCKit's PCB connectors map to the 5CSXFC6D6F31C6 IC's pads.
BTW, I really appreciate the board having pads for an Altera JTAG connector pads: EthernetBlaster can be used with it!

Assuming you're talking about this kit:
I don't have a direct answer, but it's highly unusual from my experience that Terasic does not include schematics. Have you tried contacting them or checked one of the older board rev downloads?
