There are plenty of these to obtain inside the EU (don't know where you live, but I assume not China). I bought mine right here in Poland for the equivalent of 5,00 EUR and received it in 3 days. EXTERNAL LINK

I relay think you should include flypes excellent CPUMon080 and Minimon in the SAGA package.

Did you guys manage to fit the entire FPU inside the 2.7 core now? Or it’s still hardware/software hybrid?

It is all hardware now but with some minor compromises to fit in the FPGA of current hardware.

The more I think about this and where Apollo team was not too long ago, this is mighty impressive.
Great work.

Cool, I need to try this out.

Perhaps you should put up a checksum for that file, just so people can check that they downloaded it correctly.

I get these checksums:
MD5: 073a141c6fc4ca531224fc4b642f8940
SHA: 0a6ed006fee4664e67d407032a429acba63f8649

I have the USB Blaster, but it seems to me that I need to get a login for MyAltera to be able to download the software that I need to flash it. Is that correct or is there a different tool that we can use?
