The Nitro Board is an evaluation board featuring the Cyclone® V GX FPGA. This board connects most I/O pins to the expansion connector (HSMC) as user I/O, except for DDR3 SDRAM and Clock timing products.
Customers can quickly evaluate multiple functions by connecting an expansion card that has already been released, or an expansion card that you originally designed to this board.
