Good value board
Works well for the price. Documentation could be slightly better for beginners, but online communities help fill the gaps.

Perfect for University Projects
Used this for my senior design project and it worked flawlessly. The NIOS II support made system design much easier than expected.
Q: Is the USB driver included in the package?
A: Drivers are not on a CD but are available for download on the manufacturer support website.
Q: What Quartus version is best for this chip?
A: We recommend Quartus II 13.0sp1 or Quartus Prime Lite Edition for full compatibility.
Q: Is JTAG chain supported for multiple devices?
A: Yes, the board includes a standard JTAG interface that supports chaining with other JTAG devices.
Q: Can I expand IOs using the headers?
A: Yes, there are two 40-pin headers that expose most of the FPGA pins for expansion boards.
Q: Does this board support 5V tolerant inputs?
A: No, the IO banks operate at 3.3V. Please ensure your external circuits are compatible to avoid damage.
