DK-DEV-10M50-C MAX® 10 FPGA Development Kit

Altera MAX 10 FPGA 10M50 development kit is designed to help users quickly develop embedded applications, particularly solutions for video processing, imaging, data communications, data storage, and motor control. It includes essential components like HDMI, LVDS, Ethernet, Pmod, HSMC connectors, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC), potentiometers, switches, and LEDs. This kit supports a wide range of applications, including video imaging, I/O expansion, analog interface control, stepper motor control, interface bridging, power management control, configuration, and initialization control, all while leveraging the low-power and cost-effective features of MAX 10 FPGA. It can also be used to jumpstart 1 G-based designs leveraging Altera’s extensive portfolio of connectivity IP to quickly develop high bandwidth applications. Users can enhance their designs with all the essential connectors for 1 Gbps applications, supporting standards such as GigE, HDMI, and USB 2.0.

With this development kit, users can:

• Develop and test designs with 1 GbE for data transmission and HDMI interface to displays
• Build embedded solutions and test the FPGA interface with several peripheral modules that are specifically designed to extend the capabilities of embedded systems and development boards by adding new features and functionality through the Pmod connectors
• Run embedded Linux using the Nios® V processor
• Connect to daughter cards and peripherals using HSMC connectors on the board
• Can be tested with a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) HSMC board to evaluate the interoperation of MAX 10 FPGA with generic SFP modules. The optical modules that are of particular importance are SGMII Ethernet, fiber channel, CPRI/OBSAI, and SONET
• Develop and test using ADCs to interface with analog signals from temperature sensors, light, and sound, and DACs to generate analog signals like waveforms or control voltages
• Can configure the FPGA by using the onboard USB Blaster 2 or through a JTAG connector
• Reuse the kit’s board layout and schematic files to accelerate designing new Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)
• Start immediately with the free version of Quartus® Prime Lite Edition Software, an intuitive high-performance design tool that supports design entry, synthesis, optimization, verification, and simulation

Comes with a complete kit installation package that includes tools to make the design implementation easy:

• Board design files: Contains schematics, layout, assembly drawing, bill of materials (BOM), Gerber, and signal integrity files
• User guide
• Example designs: Leveraging memory, ADC, HDMI, and HSMC-GPIO
• Board test system (BTS) to test the board functionality
• 2 ADCs and a DAC
