Dear Forum, as so many questioners here I struggle too to connect an Altera FPGA (EP4CE6E22C8) and a SDRAM to use it as program memory for the NIOS II. I already figured out that the nios2...

I used this occasion also to exchange the blue led’s against green ones and I also increased the pre resistors up to 2k. Maybe one should consider to invest more money into a terasic evalboard – to my knowledge the DE series seems to be well engineered
