The low-cost C yclone® II FPGA Starter Development Kit is ideal for evaluating Altera's high-performance, low-power,
90-nm technology. By using this RoHS-compliant starter development kit, you will see 60 percent (on average) higher
performance and 50 percent (on average) lower power than competing 90-nm, low-cost FPGAs. Several reference
designs and demonstrations included in the kit make for a quick, "out-of-the-box" evaluation experience.
The C yclone II FPGA Starter Development Kit includes the following:
Altera's easy-to-use Quartus® II design software (Web Edition)
Nios® II Embedded Design Suite (EDS)
C omplete documentation
C ables and power supply
