Arduino MKR Vidor 4000
Overview
The Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 is a unique development board that combines a SAMD21 microcontroller with an Intel Cyclone 10CL016 FPGA. It is designed to bridge the gap between traditional MCU programming and high-performance hardware acceleration, offering specialized interfaces like Mini HDMI and MIPI Camera.
Why Choose This Part
The board provides a rare combination of an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU and a flexible FPGA on a single compact form factor. It simplifies FPGA development through the Arduino IDE, allowing users to load pre-compiled HDL blocks without deep Verilog knowledge.
Applications
Getting Started
Program the SAMD21 MCU using the Arduino IDE and utilize the Vidor Graphics and Vidor Peripherals libraries to interact with the FPGA. For custom HDL development, use Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition to compile bitstreams for the Cyclone 10 device.
