By using the "Embedded Card", it is possible to extend PCI Express Cable (*1), Gigabit Ethernet, and serial communication with a PC.
It also has SRAM and Flash, which can be used as a storage work area for embedded processor software such as Intel's Nios® II processor. By connecting this daughter card to an Intel FPGA development kit equipped with an HSMC connector, you can expand the peripherals required for embedded development with a single card and start evaluation.
(*1) Can be used with HSMC port A or port B of Nitro board.
(*2) Please note that cables are not included.
