Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA Development Kit

The Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA Development Kit provides a full featured design platform built around a 50 K logic elements (LEs) Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA, optimized for system level integration with on-die analog-to-digital converter (ADC), dual-configuration flash, and DDR3 memory interface support.

With this development board, you can:

Develop designs for the 10M50D, F484 package FPGA
Measure the performance of the Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA analog-to-digital block conversion
Interface Intel® MAX® 10 FPGAs to DDR3 memory at 300 MHz performance
Run embedded Linux using the Nios® II processor
Interface to daughtercards and peripherals using HSMC and Digilent Pmod compatible connectors
Measure FPGA power (VCC_CORE and VCC_IO) using the power monitor graphical user interface (GUI)
Reuse the kit’s PCB board and schematic as a model for your design
