Chapter 1 DE10-Advanced Development Kit

Terasic A10SOC is a kind of the best SoC FPGA development platform with various advanced interfaces.It built around the Intel Arria 10 SoC FPGA,which combines the dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU and provide 660K LEs. A10SOC has many peripherals, it can transfer data to PC with a high speed through PCIEx4 GEN3 and Type-C USB connector. The four SFP interfaces and Gigabit Ethernet port can be used in network application. HDMI 2.0 output and the two DDR4 sodimm allow users to deal with high bandwidth of image. A10SOC provide a FMC connector, it can extend more development space. Generally speaking, A10SoC has powerful computing and interface processing capacity, it must be the best choice for Network Communication, High Performance Computing, Image Processing and other applications.
