SoCrates II is the second Edtion of our SoC-FPGA Starterboard. The feature set was Extended by a high-speed connector for the Gigabit Transceivers and a NXp security device. Addtionally we removed the parallel USB-Blaster II Interface and used these Pins as additional GPIOs. The Gigabit Ethernet Phy was changed to a Broadcom phy and the USB / UART converter was changed to a Cypress device. We moved the memory Interface from one 32bit device to two 16bit devices.

The comes with a preprogrammed SD-Card - including a Debian distribution.

The Board Installer is available in the download Area.
