Chapter 1 DE10-Nano Development Kit

The VPX-A5SoC is a high-performance, reconfigurable 6U VPX card based on the Altera Arria V SOC FPGA. The FPGA is also embeded with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Processor running up to 1.05 GHz which can be used for control plane interfaces such as Ethenet, USB , SD Card and UART, etc. The board features up to 1 GB of DDR3 SDRAM as well as Flash memory for booting the FPGAs. The PCI Express ports x4 lanes in the VPX expansion plane, with up to PCI Express Gen2 (5Gbps) throughput offers a high performance interface to mainstream peripherals and I/O cards. Tow VITA 57 FMC sites are provided for enhancing the board's I/O and processing capabilities. The A5-VPX-A5SoC is a powerful, feature-rich solution for the next generation of compute-intensive embedded applications.
