Altium's new FPGA board for embedded system designers without FPGA skills

Altium has announced the enhancement of its NanoBoard 3000 with Altera Cyclone III FPGA that provides same hardware, software and ready-to-use, royalty-free IP of the NanoBoard 3000, but with the power of Altera's low-cost, high power Cyclone III FPGA at its core.

Complete with hardware and software, the NanoBoard 3000 eliminates the need to search the web for drivers, peripherals or other software.

"As we said last September, electronics designers without any prior FPGA skills can use the NanoBoard 3000 to construct sophisticated 'soft' processor-based systems inside the FPGA," said Nick Martin, CEO of Altium.

"Using their existing board layout skills and Altium's intuitive graphical interface, electronics designers can construct, test and implement entire FPGA-based embedded systems. This new addition to the range provides the perfect entry point for electronics designers, as it exploits the low-cost, high power benefits of the Altera Cyclone III in an easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy electronics design environment."
