The development kit is based on the 28nm Intel Cyclone V SoC FPGA, which integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 embedded cores with what is claimed to be 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 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 DE10-Nano kit includes two 40pin general-purpose input/output (GPIO) headers, 1GByte of high-speed DDR3 memory, a 12-bit analogue-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.
