Every board I look at gets me frutrated. I want a fairly fast ADC (eg. LTC 2161, 16-bits, 40MSPS) but something that complex / sensitive should be on the same board...
@Soupie62 Hi Soupie. Thank you for the insight! As the DE0-Nano is designed to be as affordable as possible for the average consumer, it might not have all the on-board features you may require out of the box. But that's also exactly why it includes an extensive amount of I/O pins for extendibility. You can check out this link, bit(dot)ly/zWHonX, in order to find out about a compatible ADC daughter card which supports 65/125 Mbps.
Yes it is. Without the license, the NIOS II contains code that causes it to run for only a limited time before halting. Note that Xilinx soft core is also not available without purchase of EDK.
@tom6502tom Thanks for your questions! Yes the retail price is definitely suited for any hobbyists looking to get into FPGA programming. For source code demonstrations, please check out the manual and CD at de0-nano.terasic.com. Please notice that the manual also includes Quartus/Nios tutorials.Good luck!
Is there any VHDL code avaible for this card?

Once you program it, then turn it off and on, does it remember what was programmed before?

@wookster77 you can program the EPCS flash memory to remember the FPGA configuration :)

Can this use the block diagram schematic capture tool to build a circuit?

Don't forget that the Nios license is about $500 from Altera.

@Galfonz $500!!!
Isn't better to buy a real CPU!? :)

Looks great! Is it good for hobbyist? What are the demo samples included? Source code? Any samples on MD5 / DES?

Can the Nios II be synthesized on this?

@Shaunakde Yes Nios II can definitely be synthesized! It's the perfect platform for mobile embedded computing.

@Shaunakde: U need to download version 10.1 NIOS II IDE though.. Works fine...
