1. About This Kit
Introduction The PCI Development Kit, Cyclone ™ II Edition provides everything you
need to develop and test a complete PCI system based on the Cyclone II
device and using Altera
® PCI MegaCore ® functions.
This chapter briefly describes the kit’s features and documentation
including:
■ The Cyclone II EP2C35 PCI development board
■ Quartus ® II Software, Development Kit Edition (DKE)
■ PCI-to-DDR2 reference design
■ MegaCore IP Library CD-ROM
Kit Features The PCI Development Kit, Cyclone II Edition, features:
■ The Cyclone II EP2C35 PCI Development Board—a prototyping
platform that allows you to develop and prototype high-speed PCI
and PCI-X bus interfaces, DDR2 SDRAM, and the 10/100 Ethernet
interface.

For specific information about board components and interfaces, refer to
the Cyclone II EP2C35 PCI Development Board Reference Manual.
■ PCI-to-DDR2 Reference Design—This design is a 64-bit, 66-MHz,
hardware verified, open-source PCI-to-DDR2 SDRAM memory
reference design that uses the Altera pci_mt64 and DDR & DDR2
SDRAM Controller MegaCore functions. The design is useful for a
variety of hardware applications and lets you quickly begin
prototyping and verification.
■ Cyclone II PCI Development Kit Application & Drivers—This
open-source Windows application is an interactive platform you can
use to perform PCI transactions. You can also use the kit’s
application as a starting point for developing your own custom
software.
■ PLD Applications PCI-X CORE CD-ROM—PLD Applications’ PCI-X
IP core is a versatile integrated solution to interface any user
application or system to 32- and 64-bit PCI-X buses. The core is fully
customizable; most of its features can be enabled or disabled to suit
