Hi All,
My company is releasing two Cyclone IV E Dev boards, and a module system. I wanted to put links he for your information. *Disclaimer* Yes, I'm flogging a product, but I'm hoping to get feedback and I feel they are good enough that you should know about them. *End Disclaimer*. We're taking pre-orders on Crowd Funding Site IndieGoGo here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/he...yone/x/3703559. Please have a look.
1) The helix_4 module
- EP4CE22 or EP4CE10, 'L' 1.0V Core versions available
- 512kbit 10ns SRAM
- 512mbits 16wide DDR2
- EPCS16
- 50MHz osc
- Atmel ATSHA204 crypto IC
- All power supplies
- All variants <$60
- The idea is you build a cheap, quick 2 layer board with application circuits, and drop one of these puppies in, instead of copying yet another reference design.

2) The 'Goldilocks' Board, 1x helix_4 module + 3x Arduino Uno Shields Sockets
- There are 300 Uno Shields out there (shieldlist.org)
- Just drop any shield you want to give it the personality you need for your project
- heaps of support on our support wiki here: http://www.thin-layer-embedded.com/Module+-+helix_4
- This pic has 10W hdrs for programming, but next gen will have embedded programming circuits.
- $175.

3) The 'Breadstick' - A dev board for a breadboard
- EP4CE10 sized module, no DDR2
- 33x 3.3V IO, 10x 5V IO with ADC/DAC capability
- one socket for a Uno Shield

Damn my hand is sexy...
