To quickly and easily create system-level designs using Cyclone III device family, you
can select among the ×32-bit soft processor cores: Freescale
Cortex M1, or Altera Nios
the system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) Builder tool. SOPC Builder is an Altera
Quartus II design tool that facilitates system-integration of IP blocks in an FPGA
design. The SOPC Builder automatically generates interconnect logic and creates a
testbench to verify functionality, saving valuable design time.
Cyclone III device family expands the peripheral set, memory, I/O, or performance of
legacy embedded processors. Single or multiple Nios II embedded processors are
designed into Cyclone III device family to provide additional co-processing power, or
even replace legacy embedded processors in your system. Using the Cyclone III
device family and Nios II together provide low-cost, high-performance embedded
processing solutions, which in turn allow you to extend the life cycle of your product
and improve time-to-market over standard product solutions.
Separate licensing of the Freescale and ARM embedded processors are required.
Cyclone III device family features hot socketing (also known as hot plug-in or hot
swap) and power sequencing support without the use of external devices. You can
insert or remove a board populated with one or more Cyclone III device family
during a system operation without causing undesirable effects to the running system
bus or the board that was inserted into the system.
The hot socketing feature allows you to use FPGAs on PCBs that also contain a
mixture of 3.3-V, 2.5-V, 1.8-V, 1.5-V, and 1.2-V devices. The Cyclone III device family
hot socketing feature eliminates power-up sequence requirements for other devices
on the board for proper FPGA operation.
For more information about hot socketing and power-on-reset, refer to the
Hot-Socketing and Power-on-Reset in Cyclone III Devices
Cyclone III LS devices offer built-in error detection circuitry to detect data corruption
due to soft errors in the CRAM cells. This feature allows CRAM contents to be read
and verified to match a configuration-computed CRC value. The Quartus II software
activates the built-in 32-bit CRC checker, which is part of the Cyclone III LS device.
