Innovative and reconfigurable hardware platform harnesses the
power of today’s high-capacity, low-cost programmable devices –
allowing rapid system development and implementation
Works seamlessly and in full synchronization with Altium’s next-
generation electronic design solution, Altium Designer
Real-time on-board power monitoring and analysis for the entire
system
Supports range of swappable target-FPGA and processor daughter
boards from all major chip vendors
Automatic peripheral and daughter board detection and
configuration for plug-and-play platform creation
Powerful instrumentation reduces or eliminates the need to simulate
Reprogrammability eliminates the need to build multiple prototypes
during development
Integrated color TFT LCD panel (320x240) with touch screen that
facilitates dynamic application interaction
Stereo analog audio system with high-quality on-board amplifiers,
mixer, line in/out and stereo speakers
Variety of standard communication interfaces – RS-232 serial, CAN,
PS/2 mini-DIN
SD card reader – for additional I/O flexibility including the ability to
download a variety of files
Four channel, 8-bit ADC and 10-bit DAC, I2C-compatible
User definable PDA-style push button switches that function as
generic design inputs
Variety of general purpose switches and LEDs
Programmable clock, 6 to 200 MHz, available to target FPGA
Power sensing system allows real-time monitoring of system and
device power consumption
SPI Real-Time Clock with 3V battery back-up
Onboard memory accessible by NanoTalk Controller – 256K x 32-bit
common-bus SRAM (1MB), 16M x 32-bit common-bus SDRAM
(64MB), 16M x 16-bit common-bus 3.0V Page Mode Flash memory
(32MB), 256K x 32-bit independent SRAM (1MB)
Dual User Board JTAG headers for direct interaction and
development on production board
Home/Reset button – Home button enables firmware to take
control of TFT panel; Reset provides NanoBoard reset functionality
NanoTalk Controller – manages real time proprietary communication
with Altium Designer, the board, and the NanoBoard firmware using
a Xilinx
accessible Flash configuration PROM
Master-Slave connectors for chaining multiple development boards
– allowing multiple-FPGA system development
Board ID memory – 1-Wire
daughter board and peripheral board
Power – Dual 5V DC power daisy-chain connectors with power
switch, 5V DC power output connector, power supply test points
for all supply levels available on the board, four GND points

Included in the box
Altium Designer
The NanoBoard NB2 includes a 12-month
subscription to an Altium Designer Soft Design license which is linked to
the NanoBoard in the box. This license option provides functionality to
quickly start designing FPGA-based embedded systems, including:
Additional Altium Designer license options are available for custom
board design. For information on Altium Designer licensing options, visit
www.altium.com/altiumdesigner
Peripheral boards
The NanoBoard NB2 caters for the use of up to three peripheral boards,
and is delivered with the following standard peripheral boards:
Audio/Video Peripheral Board (PB01)
Mass Storage Peripheral Board (PB02)
USB-IrDA-Ethernet Peripheral Board (PB03)
Additional peripheral boards continue to be developed by Altium, and
users can also develop their own, making it easy to evaluate new and
alternate technology options.
Choice of daughter board
Each NanoBoard NB2 comes with one daughter board, which can be
selected from the following:
Xilinx
Altera
LatticeECP™ Daughter Board (DB32)
Daughter boards are swappable and an extended range can be purchased
separately from Altium.
Training and resource materials
Altium provides extensive online resources designed to get you up and
running as quickly as possible.
