## Overview

The Altera MAX V CPLD Development System by Earth People Technology features a powerful Intel/Altera 5M570T100C5 chip with 440 MacroCells, 32 versatile I/O pins selectable between 3.3V and 5V, and a USB Micro B interface with built-in JTAG programming. Designed for Windows, it offers Arduino Mega compatibility and an open-source software suite, making it a complete, stackable development kit ideal for professional-grade custom logic projects.

## Description

Designed, Manufactured and Distributed in the USA.  The EPT USB-CPLD development system provides a  flexible learning platform by combining a powerful  Complex Programmable Logic Device with High Speed  USB. It is designed to provide an innovative method of  developing and debugging programmable logic code. It provides a high speed data transfer mechanism between any  microcontroller (or any digital device) and a host PC. The  EPT USB-CPLD development system provides a convenient,  user-friendly work flow by connecting seamlessly with Altera’s  Quartus II software. The user will develop the code in the  Quartus environment on a Windows Personal Computer. The  programmable logic code is then loaded into the CPLD using  only the Quartus Programmer software and a standard USB  cable. The programmer hardware is built in to the EPT-5M570-AP.  The ActiveHost API provides a highly configurable communications  interface between CPLD and host PC. It connects transparently  to the Active Transfer Library running inthe CPLD code.

## Features

- Intel/Altera 5M570T100C5 CPLD chip with 440 MacroCells. The MegaProLogic is a complete CPLD Development Kit. All source files are provided along with a detailed user manual and datasheet to allow the user to create unique projects.
- Inputs/Outputs: 32 -- Selectable between 3.3Volts and 5 Volts. I/O's are protected with 74LVCH4245 8-Bit Bus transceivers. USB Interface: Eight bit data transfers. User code will transparently connect with the ActiveHost API running on the Windows PC. All software is Open Source
- Board Footprint Compatible with the Arduino Mega. Stackable headers connect the MegaProLogic directly to the Mega and Shields
- JTAG Programmer Built In: The CPLD is programmed on board. A single USB Micro B Cable is all that is needed
- Complete Development Kit with tutorials and source code. Please visit the MegaProLogic product page under the earthpeopletechnology website to access all schematics, user manual, data sheets and project files.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Thanks. do i use altera usb blaster? is there quartus menu item to download thru ft2232h mini? is there documentation i can review before purchase?**
A: Hello, the MegaProLogic includes an on-board programmer for the CPLD MAX V chip. All you need is a USB Micro B cable. You will also need to load the drivers included on the DVD. The FT2232H chip is mounted on the MegaProLogic.

**Q: Does this come with the ft2232h module?**
A: Hello, we have recently updated the MegaProLogic. The daughter module has been removed. The FT2232H chip is now on the main PCBA. The CPLD has been upgraded to the 5M570 chip. It maintains all of the features as the previous version with a few new added features. We will post the schematic, pictures, user manual and data sheet in the coming weeks (It takes a lot longer to update documentation than the PCBA). You can check the earthpeopletechnology website for all the latest updates.

**Q: Will this work with Quartus II v13?**
A: Yes, the MegaProLogic will work with Quartus 13.0 and 13.1.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ disappointing
*by S***R on March 30, 2024*

Waste of perfectly good pins. Half the pins on that nice 40-pin connector are NC, while the 4 leds on the board consume 12 pins of the CPLD. Documentation, while lengthy, was confusing and incomplete. Clock on pin 23? I think not. I couldn't find a good qsf file that matched the board so I had to resort to mapping out each pin from the raw schematic and quartus pin mapper. Add futzing with the level shifter directions (why isn't the LED lit?) and the slow downloads makes for a mediocre out-of-box experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As impressive as my DE0-Nano, surprisingly amazing quality
*by M***S on April 4, 2017*

I just got this in today, and I HAD to leave a review. I was so surprised at the quality of this kit. Everything down to the tack switches feel very solid and robust. It comes with a little hat on top of the shield to do FTDI stuff over USB. The pins are a little extra long so they make firm contact with the board below it. All pins are 5V tolerant thanks to a few SN74LVC4245A's. Having this board sit on top of my knockoff IEIK Arduino Mega knockoff feels like putting a Porche cover onto a Ford Taurus. It's very solid and nice.Alright, enough gushing about the quality :) If you're just beginning FPGA or CPLD development, you won't go wrong picking this one up first. It's going to be a while before you really surpass the capabilities of this board, so if you're dipping your feet in the water to see how you take to FPGA/CPLD development, you can do a whole lot worse than spend ~$20 for one of these and get several times that in value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Product (MAX II Device not a MAX V)
*by B***K on June 23, 2017*

Just be sure to install Intel (Altera) Quartus Prime software and not Quartus II software and the driver situation for the JTAG should work fine. I took off one star because this product ships with a EPM570 device installed on the board which is a MAX II CPLD not a MAX V CPLD. For my application this didn't matter but for some it might so please check out the company website first for product details.
