CARLSBAD, CA - Altium has released a new plug-in daughter board hosting a Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA, and the company reports that other daughter boards and peripheral boards will be released over the coming months.

Altium's Xilinx Virtex-4 daughter board provides an XC4VLX25-10FF668C FPGA and a range of on-board memories, and can be used with either the new Desktop NanoBoard NB2DSK01 or the previous-generation NanoBoard-NB1.

Designers can reportedly create designs in different programmable devices and deploy them on the desktop NanoBoard for testing, debugging, analysis and redesign. The plug-in daughter boards and peripheral boards can be changed on the NanoBoard during development, and the company claims that the Altium Designer program will automatically reconfigure projects to use the new hardware.

“Altium Designer and the NanoBoard allow electronic product developers to unlock the potential of large-scale programmable devices such as the Xilinx Virtex-4, and build intelligent, connected products that can be easily updated,” said CEO Nick Martin.
