Three 20-pin I/O connectors
• 46 I/O signals from/to SCSI 2 connector

Eight user LEDs at front, driven by I/O signals

M-Module™ M199 (USM™ main module)

CPU
• Nios® II soft processor
• 66MHz

Memory
• 32MB DDR2 SDRAM, soldered
• 8MB non-volatile Flash, for FPGA data and Nios® firmware

I/O at front panel (SCSI 2 connector)
• One LVTTL UART (for RS232 on AD99 via SA1 SA-Adapter™)

Functions in FPGA
• Main bus interface
• Altera® SOPC Unit incl. Nios® II/f soft processor, GPIO, UART and DDR2 SDRAM control
• Wishbone-to-Avalon®/Avalon®-to-Wishbone bridges
• Reset controller, interrupt controller, SMBus controller, GPIO controller
• M-Module™ to Wishbone bridge, ID EEPROM emulation
• 16Z045_FLASH - Flash interface
• The FPGA offers the possibility to add customized I/O functionality. See FPGA.

USM™ Slot
• One slot populated with bare USM™ module US0
• US0 only passes through signals between the FPGA and the front connector and reduces +5V input levels to 3.3V system I/O level

Connection to evaluation board
• SCSI 2 connector, 50-pin HP D-Sub receptacle
• 46 I/O signals from/to evaluation board, FPGA-controlled

M-Module™ Characteristics
• Compliant with M-Module™ standard
• A08, A24, D08, D16, D32, INTA, IDENT

Accessories

SA1 RS232 SA-Adapter™

SCSI 2 cable

Please note that the kit does not include an M-Module™ carrier board! You should install the M-Module™ on a suitable carrier in a test system of your choice.
