Terasic DE1-SoC Development Kit
Overview
The Terasic DE1-SoC (P0159) is a robust development platform built around the Intel Cyclone V SoC FPGA, which integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with programmable logic. This hardware-software integration allows for high-bandwidth communication between the processor and FPGA fabric using a high-throughput AXI interconnect. The board includes 1GB of DDR3 memory, a video-in port, VGA output, and various sensors to support complex system-on-chip designs.
Why Choose This Part
The platform provides a complete ecosystem for SoC development by bridging a Linux-capable processor with flexible FPGA resources. It features a wide array of peripherals including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 Host, and an accelerometer, making it suitable for complex prototyping without additional daughter cards.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers should use the Intel Quartus Prime software suite and the SoC EDS (Embedded Design Suite) for hardware-software co-design. The board supports various Linux distributions and can boot from a microSD card, while the onboard USB-Blaster II allows for easy programming and debugging of the Cyclone V device.
