I attended an one-day training by Arrow and their BeMicro board seems to be quite good. http://www.altera.com/b/nios-bemicro-evaluation-kit.html The good thing about it is that they have already the embedded process ready (Nios-II) and the Eclipse/GCC based toolchain ready. The bad thing is that it seems to need the subscription edition which you can only get free evaluation license for 30 days. At least that is what was used in the training. --=20 Xiaofan --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
