EP2C5-DB FPGA card

P1743-720PX.jpg

I love Grant Searle's Multicomp project. It lets you easily create 6502, Z80, 6809 Retrocomputers of the late 1970s era. This card provides all of the connections needed.

Grant's original design used an EP2 and that's exactly what this cards USES. Note that's not compatible with the latest version Altera/Intel Quartus but you can download older versions like 13.1 SP. Just make sure it supports the Cyclone II family of FPGAs. We also have an EP4 version of this card for sale on Tindie.

Features

  • Cyclone II EP2C5 Mini Dev Board
  • 6 bit video on VGA (2:2:2 R:G:B)
  • 128KB of SRAM for banked use in CP/M
  • PS/2 Keyboard Mini-DIN connector
  • Connector for serial ports
    • Can attach inexpensive FTDI USB to serial converter
  • SD Card
  • DC power jack (on FPGA card)

EP2 Resources

  • EP2CE5 had 13 of 1Kx9 SRAM blocks
