Overview

Features & Benefits

  • Analog Devices has an extensive portfolio of Evaluation Boards and Reference Designs to help solve developers’ system level application challenges with mixed signal designs, and software drivers.

  • Use the Arduino compatible headers on the DE10-Nano to plug-in a variety of precision signal chain solutions from Analog Devices. See several examples of Arduino Plug-In boards below on this page.

  • Use the ADI QuikEval Header for interfacing with an extensive portfolio of sensors solutions.

  • Qualified contestants can request up to 3 ADI Qualified boards for the InnovateFPGA Contest.
    Please see steps listed below that are required to qualify for the 3 Free ADI demo boards for the InnovateFPGA contest:

    ADI will do our best to provide all boards requested by design contestants however due to supply constraints not all boards will be available directly from ADI at no charge. In some cases Authorized ADI distributors may have stock, however contestants will need to purchase those from the distributors at their own cost.

Real-World Plug-ins for the Terasic DE10-Nano Kit


1) Arduino Plug-Ins: Circuits from the Lab


Analog Devices application experts have developed over a hundred reference designs to bridge the physical and digital with unmatched technologies that sense, measure and connect.

These circuits can be used as standalone solutions, or combined to build more complex systems.

Use the Arduino compatible headers on the DE10-Nano to plug-in a variety of precision signal chain solutions from Analog Devices. See a few examples of Arduino Plug-In boards below:

2) QuikEval Plug-Ins: Connecting To ADI (LTC) 2x7 QuikEval Header


The DE10-Nano’s 2x7 QuikEval header is compatible with over a 100+ ADI Evaluation Boards. ADI solutions such as precision ADCs and DACs, and low-noise PLLs are used for critical and auxiliary functions, such as communication, and system health monitoring (supply current, supply voltage, temperature, etc.).

Click here to see over a hundred boards that connect to the ADI (LTC) 2x7 QuikEval header.

The SPI or I2C signals on the DE10-Nano's QuikEval connector are connected to the HPS side of the Intel Cyclone V FPGA SoC Device. This means that communication to these devices can come directly from within the Linux operating system running on the embedded processor.

DE10-Nano User Guide & Information
DE10-Nano User Guide & Information

For parts without a Linux driver, it is possible to communicate directly through the /dev/i2c and /dev/spi device files. In both cases, there is Linduino / Arduino code that can be used as a starting point for writing your own code. Linduino / Arduino code is intended for porting to "bare metal" (no operating system) embedded applications, but is still useful in gaining insight into how a particular device functions.
