Altium has launched a new addition to its NanoBoard family of FPGA-based development boards.
The NanoBoard 3000 is a programmable design environment, supplied complete with hardware, software, ready-to-use, royalty-free IP and a dedicated Altium Designer Soft Design licence. With this offering, designers have everything they need to explore FPGAs ‘out of the box’, without the need to search the Web for drivers, peripherals or other software, and then have the hard work of integrating all these elements to make them work together.
Using the NanoBoard 3000, electronics designers can construct sophisticated ‘soft’ processor-based systems inside FPGAs without any prior FPGA expertise. Engineers do not need any specialist VHDL or Verilog skills. Instead, they can use their existing board layout and systems design skills to construct, test and implement FPGA-based embedded systems. The IP libraries and graphical editors that are central to Altium Designer mean they can simply add processors, memory controllers, peripheral blocks and software stacks. Altium includes a range of reference designs and tutorials to get engineers designing immediately.
The first NanoBoard 3000 features a Xilinx Spartan 3AN FPGA. Two more NanoBoards, featuring Altera and Lattice FPGAs, are planned. In all three NanoBoard options, the FPGA is fixed; this distinguishes it from Altium’s NanoBoard NB2, which features interchangeable FPGA daughter boards to allow on-the-fly comparisons and testing in a prototype design environment. Designers using the NanoBoard 3000 will also have the option to deploy their designs in modular commercial enclosures from Altium. Available in a variety of sizes, these will let designers go from prototype to commercial product in one step, simply by snapping the NanoBoard 3000 into the enclosure.
