cLS-FSTS-FPGA: Module with SRAM
DESCRIPTION
The cLS-FSTS-FPGA is one of the first generic FPGA Tower System modules. An Altera Cyclone III was chosen due to their
popularity and it is contained in the free download software. The module is used as a building platform for different I/O modules,
custom interfaces, custom hardware processing and soft-core processors; including Coldfire V1 and Altera NIOS. The FPGA is of
sufficient size to accommodate 2 NIOS processors for dual core work.
The module contains the following: SRAM chip for storage, fixed 25MHz oscillator, socket for a second oscillator, JTAG connection
(test and programming), larger platform flash that doubles as boot flash for a processor, jumper configurable Tower System
interface and 2 external 1x18 connectors (16 I/O and 2 grounds on each). Core voltages are generated on the module from the
main power.
Card ships with all schematics, a spread sheet for pin connection quick reference and sample test program. Altera software can be
downloaded from their website. An Altera USB-Blaster or an older Master Blaster will be required.
Board ships with full schematics and code sample. Also included is an excel spreadsheet to be included with the Freescale Tower
Configuration Tool.
