PCI core and Cyclone

[Roberto Gallo]

Hello

I am wondering if it is feasible to use a PCI 32bit target Altera
Megacore with a Low Speed Cyclone device, EP1C6 grade -8. Is this FPGA fast
enough?

Well, my earlier design (Leonardo for synthesis -- blech!) and Quartus
for P&R... fmax was more than 90MHz for the -8 part IIRC. Target PSI
only. We're moving to master/target, but we're only 33 MHz, so I'm not
worried.

If you want to do 66MHz, you might want to call Altera.
