PSK Development Kit Version 1.4

Released: 18 May 2006

Overview

The Microtronix PSK is designed to work with Quartus II v7.0 and the Altera Nios II Development Kit v7.0 or the Altera Nios II Processor and Toolchain evaluation package.

The Microtronix PSK CD includes the following items:

• A series of reference designs that support the PSK and Ethernet - USB Expansion and CompactFlash Expansion boards.
• The Microtronix PSK SOPC components.
• The PSK Configuration Software package.

Installing and Removing the Release

It is recommended that you install the Microtronix Nios II Linux Distribution v1.4.1 before the Microtronix PSK.

This release has been wrapped with an installer application and therefore removal of the software should be done following the normal Windows procedure ("Add or Remove Programs" from the Control Panel, or the shortcut "Microtronix -> PSK 1.4 -> Uninstall Microtronix PSK" under the Start menu).

The readme.txt should open automatically after the installation process is complete.
