Dev kit combines processor, peripherals and FPGA fabric into a single customisable device

Mouser now stocks the DE10-Nano development kit from Terasic Technologies. The kit is a robust hardware design platform built around an Intel SoC FPGA, which combines a processor, peripherals, and an FPGA fabric into a single, user-customizable device. The kit is based on the 28nm Intel Cyclone V SoC FPGA, which integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 embedded cores with industry-leading programmable logic for maximum design flexibility. Developers can leverage the power of reconfigurability along with a high-performance, low-power processor system. The SoC combines an ARM-based HPS consisting of processor, peripherals, and memory interfaces tied seamlessly with the FPGA fabric using a high-bandwidth interconnect backbone. The kit includes two 40pin general-purpose input/output (GPIO) headers, 1GByte of high-speed DDR3 memory, a 12-bit ADC, Gigabit Ethernet networking, and an HDMI transmitter. The kit contains all the components required to use the board with a computer running Microsoft Windows XP or later.
