Introduction
The DE0-CV presents a robust hardware design platform built around the Altera Cyclone V FPGA,
which is optimized for the lowest cost and power requirement for transceiver applications with
industry-leading programmable logic for ultimate design flexibility. With Cyclone V FPGAs, you
can get the power, cost, and performance levels you need for high-volume applications including
protocol bridging, motor control drives and capture cards, and handheld devices. The DE0-CV
development board includes hardware such as on-board USB Blaster, video capabilities and much
more. By leveraging all of these capabilities, the DE0-CV is the perfect solution for showcasing,
evaluating, and prototyping the true potential of the Altera Cyclone V FPGA.
The DE0-CV contains all components needed to use the board in conjunction with a computer that
runs the Microsoft Windows XP or later.
