The Nios II factory-programmed reference design identifies these SRAM
devices in its address space as a contiguous 1Mbyte, 32-bit-wide,
zero-wait-state main memory.
The SRAM devices share address and data connections with the flash
memory and the Ethernet MAC/PHY device. For shared bus
information, see "Shared Bus Table" on page
See www.idt.com for detailed information about the SRAM devices.
The LAN91C111 (U4) is a mixed-signal analog/digital device that
implements protocols at 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. The control pins of U4
are connected to the Cyclone device so that Nios II systems can access
Ethernet via the RJ-45 connector (RJ1). See
development kit includes hardware and software components that allow
Nios II processor systems to communicate with the LAN91C111 Ethernet
device.

The Ethernet MAC/PHY device shares address and data connections
with the flash memory and the SRAM chips. For shared bus information,
see "Shared Bus Table" on page
See www.smsc.com for detailed information about the LAN91C111
device.
The PROTO1 expansion prototype connectors share Cyclone I/O pins
with the CompactFlash connector. Designs may use either the PROTO1
connectors or the CompactFlash.
Headers J11, J12, and J13 collectively form the standard-footprint,
mechanically-stable connection that can be used (for example) as an
interface to a special-function daughter card.
See the Altera web site for a list of available expansion daughter cards
that can be used with the Nios development board at
www.altera.com/devkits.
