SoCrates: System on Chip has Landed
The low cost CycloneV SoC starter kit from EBV enables the evaluation and development of Altera SoC devices.
The
EBV Socrates Starter Kit provides a full system development environment for software and hardware engineers to ‘Launch’ their projects.
It provides access to many peripherals including 32-bit DDR3 Memory, Ethernet, USB, GPIO, CMOS sensor boards and a TFT display.
EBV Socrates is supported by the ARM and Altera development environment

Customer Hands-on Workshops
EBV and Altera would like to invite you to a one-day, hands-on training session where you can get familiar with the FPGA tools, the on-chip ARM Cortex A9, and running Linux on the device. Learn to apply the complete Toolchain: Altera's Quartus II software tool together with both the Altera
SoC Embedded Design Suite (EDS) and the ARM Development Studio 5 (DS5) Altera Edition Toolkit. .
