Introduction to the Terasic DE10-Nano

The Terasic DE10-Nano development board, based on an Intel® SoC FPGA, provides a reconfigurable hardware design platform for makers, IoT developers and educators. Featuring two GPIO expansion headers, an Arduino* header, high-speed DDR3 memory, an HDMI* port and ethernet networking, the board provides a robust and feature rich platform to create many exciting IoT applications.

Developers and makers are invited to discover the performance of a low-power embedded processor integrated with the flexibility of programmable logic. Divided into two distinct parts, the Intel® Cyclone® FPGA SoC device is made of a hard processor system (HPS) and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). While the HPS is a general purpose processor (based on a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9* processor), the FPGA is a parallel processing engine on which you can create custom hardware to accelerate fixed function algorithms or for extending the I/O capabilities of the device.
