Terasic DE10-Nano development kit

The DE10-Nano development kit, from Terasic Technologies, is a robust hardware design platform built around an Intel system-on-chip (SoC) FPGA, which combines a processor, peripherals and an FPGA fabric into a single, user-customisable device.

The kit is based on the 28 nm Intel Cyclone V SoC FPGA, which integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 embedded cores with programmable logic for maximum design flexibility. Developers can leverage the power of reconfigurability along with a high-performance, low-power processor system. The Cyclone V SoC combines an ARM-based hard processor system (HPS) consisting of processor, peripherals and memory interfaces tied seamlessly with the FPGA fabric using a high-bandwidth interconnect backbone.

The kit includes two 40-pin general-purpose input/output (GPIO) headers, 1 GB of high-speed DDR3 memory, a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (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.
