While not answering the question directly, i have run across this board
which looks like it has
all one needs, plus you can add ram to it.. Its 200$ Its a tad small i
agree, but it seems funcational
enough, even comes with a complete SOC so its not too small to be useful..

Im thinking of getting one of these, while i wait on the 'upgrade' on
the digiliant S3 board to
happen ( figured i would wait for the 1mb chip instead of getting the
400k chip.. I'm in no
big hurry.. ) http://www.cmosexod.com/fnd.htm

It has 128 kBytes SRAM and 8 MBytes SDRAM.

It looks like this board has no external memory. Without an additional memory
you will not have very much fun with NiosII or any other soft-core CPU.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has experiences using the Altera UP3-board
with NiosII? Any comments are welcome. I'm looking for an
educational board suitable for microprocessor designs and this seems
to have the right peripherals.
