Altera Cyclone IV EP4CE6 FPGA Mini Development Board

Altera Cyclone IV EP4CE6 FPGA Mini Development Board

EP4CE6 Mini Board is a compact FPGA  board which is designed based on EP4CE6 device. It’s a low-cost and easy-to-use  platform for learning Altera’s Cyclone IV FPGA. This board includes some  necessary peripherals to quickly evaluate the FPGA device. Abundant I/Os are  provided, you can easily connect a variety of peripherals using a flat ribbon  cable. The pocket-sized dimension makes it a good choice for you when a FPGA  core board is needed in your project. A USB to UART converter is integrated for  easy data communication with PC.
