Hello, Is anyone else out there having issues with Altera's customer support? I've had an issue open with them for over two weeks now, and haven't even gotten a response on it. Not even a "We're working on it". Does anyone know how to elevate an issue within Altera? My Altera SE has been little help of late as well. Thanks for any suggestions. John

I'm new to designing with altera, and by default the Quartus tool adds the following library declarations as part of my top level code template. library ieee; use ieee.std_logic_1164.all; library altera; use altera.altera_syn_attributes.all; I've compiled the altera libraries under modelsim using the supplied altera script. When I try to compile my top-level module in modelsim with ...

Hi Altera used to make so much noise here, that I could not belive my eyes seing Stratix-II GX devices at Altera website, and no posting about Altera being the greatest at c.a.f. !!! I guess the S2-GX actualy isnt available so its a wise decision to not yell loud about it. I still wonder why the devices are listed on the web (without datasheets!) at all at this time. Sure its nice to ...

Today I searched google news for Altera and found the news saying that Altera signed contract with Digikey in Feb. 15th, 2005. Now hobbists don't need to ask where to buy Altera again on the list. Still expensive though. vax, 9000

I have a question for those experienced with Altera devices. Could someone please identify (roughly) the Brand A equivilents of these brand X parts: CoolRunner II Spartan 3/3e Virtex II I am not trying to be a flame baiter, but I would really like to hear other people's thoughts of Altera's equivlents. I used to use the Altera CPLD (MAX7000) a long time ago and had a good experie...

I'm trying to construct a SOPC component of JOP [1]. As it did not work in the FPGA on the first try (of course) I would like to simulate it with ModelSim (Altera version). However, when I start ModelSim from Quartus I get following error: # ** Error: (vcom-11) Could not find C:\altera\Modeltech_ae\win32aloem/../altera/vhdl/altera.altera_europa_support_lib. # ** Error: D:/usr/cpu/jop/qu...

Does anyone know the status of the promised Altera MAX III CPLDs ? These were supposed to roll out early in 2007, but they are now not even registering on any Altera road-maps ? Has Altera pruned plans for this line ? - or has it gone back for 're-work' ? -jg

In laboratory I have few boards with Altera Flex600. Boards are connected with PC using ByteBlaster. On PC I have Win98 OS. On the all PC is the same software. Problem is that on some computers after configuring ALTERA device after some time (sometimes very short) project in Altera is deleteted. How to solve that problems without disconnecting ByteBlaster after programming? Jaroslaw G...

I came across a small surplus of Altera MAX 7000Es. On Altera's website I found information about how to program the Altera MAX 7000S. Is programming the MAX 7000E the same or does it require special equipment? Thanks, Derek Simmons

Has anyone had success interfacing Altera DPA with Xilinx ISERDES/OSERDES/IDELAY? Is 1 Gb/s/pin feasible for Virtex-5 and Stratix-II? (did having both Altera and Xilinx on the same board cause some kind of exposion? :-) I'm considering using a Virtex-5 LXT for its nice x8 PCI-E block in an otherwise mostly Altera design. -- /* jhallen@world.std.com AB1GO */ /* ...

Hello, I want to configure an FPGA (Altera Cyclone II) using JTAG programming method via USB. I have done a design using a PIC18F2550 and succedded in configuring Xilinx FPGA. I want to do the same thing fo Altera devices. Has anybody done that previously? The point where I am stuck is, I don't know the internal file formats of Altera files (e.g. rbf or sof files etc.) I need information ab...

hi Altera is the one that likes to claim many things, one of those was that Altera was the first PLD vendor supporing IEEE 1532 That was new Loong time ago already, as of today, as of Altera web info: IEEE1532 enabled devices are: *MAX7k *EPC8 thats about it. in MAX2 datasheet there is mere notice that the ISC instruction codes for MAX2 ieee1532 programming will be published ...

i need the equivalent Xilinx FPGA for the following altera devices. - Altera Stratix II GX-60 - Altera Stratix II GX-90 in terms of the resources available in these devices (logic, block ram, dcms, global clock etc) with those available in Xilinx FPGAs. thanks

Anybody knows if it can be simply done to convert a jedec file read out from an ALtera EP320 and to program into a PALCE16V8 . note it is for repair purposes so I haven't the design software of the ALtera. Regards, MB -- http://matthieu.benoit.free.fr/

I'm trying to implement an SDRAM controller for the Altera EP2C8 on a TS-7300 board (from http://www.embeddedarm.com), and I found a document from Altera (http://www.pldworld.net/_altera/html/_excalibur/ nios-sdram-tuning/SDRAM_PLL_Tuning.pdf) which looks helpful in calculating how the PLL ought to be set up. The problem I'm facing is that the datasheet (http://www.altera.com/ literature/h...
