The N-EMB-110 is a high-performance industrial device platform equipped with a Cyclone® V SoC. It has two Arm Cortex-A9 processor cores and can use Linux, etc. in SMP mode. It has four RJ45 connectors: two ports for Arm-side Gigabit Ethernet and two ports for FPGA-side EtherCAT. It also has four USB ports available. Since it is equipped with two 10/100/1000 PHYs on the FPGA side, it can also use Altera®'s TSE MAC IP, etc. QSPI or microSD cards can be used as boot memory, and the boot source can be selected with jumpers on the board. This board can be used in a variety of EtherCAT (hardware master/software master and slave) applications.Hardware Master: You can evaluate our hardware master using the Ethernet on the FPGA side.Software Master: You can implement various paid software masters using the Ethernet on the Arm side. We can also provide a demo environment with an open-source master stack implemented.Slave: It can also be used as a slave by implementing an EtherCAT slave IP, such

N-EMB-500-A/B is an evaluation platform for developing in-house ASSPs and dealing with discontinued ICs. It features the MAX® 10 10M08SA FPGA, which can operate on a single 3.3V power supply and has a built-in configuration ROM, enabling single-chip FPGA operation. The MAX® 10 FPGA supports dual-boot configuration and can implement Nios II processors. You can also utilize the analog functions of the MAX® 10 FPGA to manage the board's power sequencing and power management. General-purpose LEDs, DIP switches, and push switches can be freely controlled from the MAX® 10 FPGA through HDL coding.Features when combined with a baseboard:Built-in USB Blaster II: You can start development immediately without needing a separate FPGA programming device (USB Blaster II). Simply connect a USB cable between your PC and the baseboard to perform operations equivalent to a USB Blaster II. This allows programming the FPGA, GUI-based FPGA control using the System Console, and internal FPGA signal analysis

The N-EMB-120 is a high-performance industrial platform featuring MAX®10 FPGAs. MAX 10 has a built-in sufficient RAM capacity, and since you can use FLASH for both config ROM and ROM, you can realize a custom CPU with one chip by using Nios® II. It is equipped with external SDRAM (32MByte x 16bit) and QSPI FLASH (521Mbit), but it can also be expanded according to the software application capacity. Since two 10/100 PHYs are installed on the FPGA side, it is possible to use Altera's TSEMAC IP. The board can be used in a variety of EtherCAT (hardware master and slave) applications. Hardware master: It is possible to evaluate our hardware master. It was developed as a retrofit to the existing CPU board to realize "Instant EtherCAT". Slave: It can also be used as a slave by mounting BECKHOFF's EtherCAT slave IP on the Ethernet on the FPGA side.

With over 40 years of history, NDR has cultivated extensive expertise and a wide range of technologies, spanning both hardware and software development. We have a long-standing track record of serving the industrial equipment and systems sector, particularly infrastructure-related manufacturers. Beyond our advanced technical capabilities, we are committed to rigorous quality design to ensure the stable operation of mission-critical systems. Furthermore, we provide comprehensive long-term support for our clients, including the repair and additional production of delivered boards.

Our Hardware Group excels in SoC FPGA-based circuit design and FPGA development. Notably, we have been utilizing LINT for FPGA design for the past 20 years, underscoring our commitment to continuous quality improvement. Our Software Group possesses a wealth of experience in embedded OS porting, including RTOS and Linux.

NDR has acquired the technology of EtherCAT Hardware Master owned by a major industrial machinery manufacturer, and developed a SoC FPGA IP so that more users can flexibly use it. The FPGA hardware communication engine reduces the software load by providing a fast communication interval and stable communication cycle. The resources required for CPU processing can be allocated to applications and hence the software load fluctuations (including the addition of functions) will not affect the communication. In addition, it is also possible to mount directly to the proprietary boards using the IP.
