Hi all,
OZY can use either the 208 pin EP2C5 or EP2C8 Cyclone II. The EP2C5
requires a EPCS1 serial configuration device (1M) and the EP2C8
requires a EPCS4 device (4M). The EPCS1 costs $3.50 ea. The EPCS4
costs $13.00 ea.
Take a look at the datasheets for the ST M25P10 and M25P40 serial
flash memory and tell me that they are not compatible devices. The
M25P10 (1M) is $1.79 ea and the M25P40 (4M) is $2.84 ea.
After convincing myself that they may be compatible devices, I ordered
both and tested them. They both work perfectly. I won't be paying
the high prices for Altera serial configuration devices anymore. How
about you?
