Overview

The DE10-Nano development board features a Cyclone® V SoC FPGA combined with a wide range of peripheral devices and I/O expansion headers to create a powerful development platform. This low-cost kit serves an interactive, web-based "guided tour" that lets you quickly learn the basics of SoC FPGA development and provides an excellent platform on which to develop your own SoC FPGA design.

Cyclone V SoCs integrate a dual-core ARM® Cortex®-A9 MPCore™ hard processor, peripherals, and memory interfaces with FPGA fabric using a high-bandwidth interconnect backbone. They combine the performance and power savings of a hard processor system (HPS) with the flexibility of programmable logic.

Arduino Header

The board provides Arduino Uno revision 3 compatibility expansion header which comes with four independent headers. The expansion header has 17 user pins (16pins GPIO and 1pin Reset) connected directly to the Cyclone V SoC FPGA. 6-pins Analog input connects to ADC, and also provides DC +9V (VCC9), DC +5V (VCC5), DC +3.3V (VCC3P3 and IOREF), and three GND pins.

In addition to the 16 pins for digital GPIO, there are also 6 analog inputs on the Arduino Uno R3 Expansion Header (ADC_IN0 ~ ADC_IN5) which are connected to an analog-to-digital converter (Linear Technology LTC2308). The LTC2308 is a low noise, 500ksps, 8-channel, 12-bit ADC with a SPI/MICROWIRE compatible serial interface. It can be configured to accept eight input signals at inputs ADC_IN0 through ADC_IN7. These eight input signals are connected to a 2x5 header, as shown below.

2x40 Pin Headers

The board has two 40-pin expansion headers. Each header has 36 user pins connected directly to the Cyclone V SoC FPGA. It also comes with DC +5V (VCC5), DC +3.3V (VCC3.3), and two GND pins. The Figure below shows the I/O distribution of the GPIO connector. The maximum power consumption allowed for a daughter card connected to one or two GPIO ports is as follows:
  • 5V: 1.0A (depending on the power adapter specification)
  • 3.3V: 1.5A
