MIKSYS is an FPGA project for the Marsohod2 development board with Cyclone III. It is an education project only and has no practical use.
The idea was:
- To develop all components from scratch without any third-party IP blocks.
- To get maximal performance from the development board and illustrate it by realtime 3D graphics.
The development board contains:
- Cyclone III EP3C10E144C8 (10320 logic blocks, 414Kbit memory)
- Micron 64Mbit SDRAM 4x1Mx16bit (max frequency 134MHz)
- Various I/O ports
The following IP blocks were developed:
- CPU with original architecture and command system
- SDRAM controller
- VGA controller
- PS/2 controller
- UART controller
- USB1.1 host controller
Also the project contains:
- Assembler
- C compiler based on LCC
- MIKSYS Simulator
The project is finished and no further work is planned on it.
