DE1-SoC, the latest board suitable for introduction, evaluation, development, and education of Altera SoC FPGA ARM, is available for immediate delivery.
The DE1-SoC is the latest FPGA evaluation, development, education, and introductory board from Terasic, equipped with the Cyclone V SE SoC. It is recommended as a successor to the DE0, DE1, DE2, and DE2-70. The DE1-SoC features the Altera Cyclone V SE 5CSEMA5F31C6N, which includes an HPS section with an ARM core in addition to the FPGA part, making it suitable for education in microcontrollers and embedded systems as well as logic systems like FPGAs. The Cyclone V generation has evolved its architecture from the previous generation Cyclone IV, offering higher performance in many aspects compared to the traditional Cyclone IV, III, and II generations. The process evolution to 28nm provides advantages in speed, power, and heat generation compared to the previous generation. Compared to the old DE1, the board's I/O capabilities have been enhanced to include video input, and the VGA has been upgraded to 8-bit x 3. With the addition of a G sensor and a 12-bit 8-channel A/D converter, the range of applications for the board has expanded. It also includes a USB Blaster II that connects via USB 2.0 (HS), allowing for faster communication with PCs than before. It is currently being sold by Tachinodenko Co., Ltd. to academic institutions and businesses.
