The DE0-Nano Development Board is a compact-sized FPGA development platform suited for prototyping circuit designs such as robots and "portable" projects. The board is designed to be used in the simplest possible implementation targeting the Cyclone® IV device up to 22,320 logic elements (LEs).
This platform:
- Allows you to extend designs beyond the DE0-Nano board with two external general-purpose I/O (GPIO) headers
- Allows you to handle larger data storage and frame buffering with onboard memory devices including SDRAM and EEPROM
- Provides enhanced user peripheral with LEDs and push buttons
- Is small and lightweight
- Is reconfigurable without requiring superfluous hardware
- Is suitable for mobile designs where portable power is crucial, as it provides three power scheme options including a USB Mini-AB port, 2-pin external power header, and two DC 5-V pins
