Description
The FMC-IOT daughter card provides a set of peripherals and interfaces commonly used in embedded designs that are key to Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Various wireless communication standards are used in such designs. This card enables prototyping with all Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Sub-GHz RF devices, as well as wired Ethernet and USB. It extends the functionality of Aldec's main FPGA boards when certain interfaces are not available or when they need to be connected to another FPGA on the main board.
Typical applications for this daughter card are physical ASIC / SoC prototyping, In Circuit Emulation (ICE) or evaluation and prototyping of embedded and IoT designs.
