Terasic Technologies T-Core FPGA MAX 10 Development Board

Terasic T-Core FPGA MAX 10 Development Board offers a robust hardware design platform built around the Intel® MAX 10 FPGA. The board is designed to provide a cost-effective, single-chip solution in control plane and data path applications and programmable logic for flexibility. With the MAX 10 FPGA, users can get lower power consumption/cost and higher performance than the previous generation. Terasic T-Core FPGA MAX 10 Development Board includes hardware such as onboard USB-Blaster™ II, QSPI flash, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) header, RGB LEDs, and a 2x6 TMD expansion header. By leveraging all of these capabilities, the T-Core is an ideal solution for showcasing, evaluating, and prototyping the potential of the Intel MAX 10 FPGA. The series also supports RISC-V CPU with an onboard JTAG debug and is an ideal platform for learning RISC-V CPU design and embedded system design.
