14 years ago --- Quote Start --- I am searching for FPGA board that will be in smallest size ( priority for Altera ) with: 1.RS232 port 2.GPIO port 3.2-3 swith 4.push buttons is optional Now i have DE1 board and i want to use my project on some smallest size board that can answer my project requirements. Any suggestions? --- Quote End --- The BeMicro has an FTDI FT2232, with one of the interfaces used to control JTAG and the other connected as a UART ... not quite RS232, but perhaps all you want is host-to-FPGA via COM port. The DE-nano probably has most of what you want too - except for the RS232 UART. But you could always buy a FTDI USB-to-UART breakout cable (the cable has UART signals, not RS232 signals, so you can plug it into a header directly). http://search.digikey.com/us/en/products/ttl-232r-3v3/768-1015-nd/1836393 Cheers, Dave
