DE0-Nano Altera Cyclone IV FPGA Starter Board
Compact FPGA development board based on the Altera Cyclone IV, designed for learning and prototyping. Suited to parallel I/O, real-time video/audio, and emulation workloads where microcontrollers lack throughput.
Pinout
- USB mini-AB
USB programming and power interface. Adafruit states the DE0-Nano can be programmed and powered over USB.
Type · connectorVoltage · USB-powered board interface, source: Adafruit product page - 40-pin GPIO header A
One of two 40-pin IDC-compatible expansion headers. Adafruit states the two 40-pin headers provide 72 general-purpose I/O pins.
Type · connector - 40-pin GPIO header B
Second 40-pin IDC-compatible expansion header. Adafruit states the two 40-pin headers provide 72 general-purpose I/O pins.
Type · connector - 26-pin digital/analogue header
26-pin header exposing 16 digital I/O pins and 8 analogue input pins for analogue sensors, as stated on the Adafruit product page.
