Introduction
NEW: 2014 SoC Design virtual workshops start in March. Information below [click here] The Helio platform is full featured and software compatible with Altera’s own development boards. The platform consists of a Helio baseboard, an optional Helio View wide VGA touch screen LCD board and a series of ‘pico-modules’ to add additional functionality to the platform - such as WiFi and temperature / humidity sensors.
Performance, Power, and Flexibility
Altera’s new SoC solutions combine the latest Coretx-A9 ARM processors with industry-leading programmable logic. Users have the flexibility, low power and performance of a integrated ARM-based hard processor system (HPS) consisting of processor, peripherals and memory interfaces, combined with the FPGA fabric offering a high-bandwidth interconnect backbone. That means you get the performance and power savings of hard Intellectual Property (IP) and the flexibility of programmable logic.Helio Board Key Features
- Altera Cyclone V SoC -- 5CSXFC6C6U23C8NES / 5CSXFC5C6U23C7N
- HSMC expansion connector
- 2G - 8Gbit DDR3-SDRAM
- Micro SD Card
- I/F include 1Gb Ethernet, USB OTG, UART
- Linear Technology Power Monitor
- Yocto Linux BSP
Helio View Display Key Features
- WVGA (800x480) TFT LCD
- Capacitive multi-touch
- HDMI input
- HDMI output
- Two expansion connectors
- Clean integraion with the Helio board to make a compact, portable unit

The Workshops
Macnica is pleased to be offering a series of World Wide Workshops to get designers productively using the Altera SoC and the Helio platform as quickly as possible. This unique series of Global learning labs will focus on the practical aspects of design. Each course is tailored to a specific engineering task for both Hardware and Software applications. Learn with Macnica Group and get started on your next SoC design quickly. The 2014 Free Macnica Americas virtual workshops can teach you the key aspects of designing with Cyclone V SoC devices including tool setup, processor and FPGA hardware usage, power management, operating systems, debug tools, and video/graphics processing including Android and custom hardware acceleration together on an SoC FPGA. Even if you attended our vWorkshops last year, you can attend sessions you missed or would like to see again. The workshops can be attended live and students can follow along using their own Mpression Helio View kit, which is available for purchase online from your local representative listed below. The workshop recordings are also available for viewing on-demand after each session is held and can be viewed in any order. Check out our video showing different methods of doing graphics acceleration using the Mpression Helio View Cyclone V SoC kit at www.macnica-na.com/helio-view-demo. Live workshop presentations begin on March 25, 2014. For complete course descriptions, agendas, schedule of sessions, and links to registration, visit www.macnica-na.com/socworkshops.Regional Support
