The Embedded Systems Development Tool (ESDT) provides a powerful, low-cost solution for prototyping and rapidly developing products. The board serves as an excellent means for system prototyping, emulation and hardware as well as software development. The board comes with a powerful Altera Cyclone FPGA. It gives scope to a hardware design engineer to design, prototype and test IP cores or any hardware design using HDLs like Verilog or VHDL. Along with that one can simulate and test “C” or assembly code also.
