The Sodia-Cyclone® V ST SoC Evaluation Board is an evaluation board featuring the Intel® (formerly Altera) ARM-based Cyclone® V ST SoC FPGA that allows hardware and software developers to quickly develop embedded applications in an environment similar to real applications. A platform for developing system designs. It is a higher-end model of Helio (Cyclone® V SoC Starter Kit), inherits most of Helio's HPS peripheral functions, and is software compatible, making it an ideal board for users considering expanding from the Helio board.
Sodia is a product of Mpression, an original technology brand provided by Macnica group.
