eSi-RISC Evaluation Kit
EnSilica now offer a development kit for eSi-RISC, based around the Altera Cyclone III evaluation board. Developers can implement and test their own designs on the three eSi-RISC configurations with ease.
The eSi-RISC Embedded Evaluation Kit Cyclone III edition features a low-power, low-cost Cyclone III FPGA evaluation board with LCD color touch panel. It also includes all the tools necessary for software developers to install and evaluate the eSi-RISC Development Suite (EDS) plus a USB cable for downloading and running code on the embedded processor.
Inside in the kit is everything you need to begin your design with helpful resources that consist of reference designs with full source code. It includes software tutorials and design examples showing applications and peripheral access.
