Cyclone II FPGA Starter Kit - CSK SD Card Audio - Using GPIO

[Altera_Forum]

Extreme newbie question :( 

 Does the provided FPGA configuration that comes with the starter disk (CSK_SD_Card_Audio) have the GPIO header(s) configured to be used?  I'm not seeing any variables available in the generated system.h file (after starting a HelloWorld project in Nios/Elipse).  Alternatively, does Altera publish a pre-built configuration (.pof/sof + .sopcinfo) that maps/enables all hardware on the board?

Such a configuration would use up a lot of FPGA resources. You typically see demos of one board feature at a time. Your board should have come with a CD containing the source for the demo projects. You can check there to see what features are enabled for a particular project. If you don't have the CD, you can download it from the Altera web site.

Thanks for the reply. I guess the starter kit is limited in that respects, so a an "all feature" demo in one code base isn't practical. 

 I have the original starter CD (v7.x) and have found the updated 13.1 versions. Also found some useful blog posts that will nudge me in the correct direction.
