TG68 - The Open Source Minimig CPU into the FPGA

[webmany]

So, could you use the Nios II Embedded Evaluation Kit, or is it best to stick with the DE1 or 2?

I don't know. The Bitstream files for the DE1 and DE2 are ready to use. For the Nios II Embedded Evaluation Kit you must do it yourself.
The minimigtg68 is Open Source. Have a go at it!

I think you can use whatever kit you like as long as you can recompile the VHDL/verilog to fit within the fpga that it uses AND use the ports that it has for input etc.

Honestly though thats just a guess

Tobiflex's design is only suitable as is, for Altera boards with a similar SDRAM and SD Card.

The top level is done with schematics which does not port so simply to another toolchain.

The Nios II Embedded Evaluation Kit would seem suitable but YMMV.

I notice that board has synchronous SRAM and you need a two board set to do any real work. I also wonder if there would be any free FPGA pins left to do the Joysticks and extra PS/2.

All the best.

Perhaps studying the source code for the software Basilisk II emulator  would help in developing Mac Classic HDL?
