miksys

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:

1. To develop all components from scratch without any third-party IP blocks.
2. 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.
