 Digi key and ate a fruit bring you Okay this week What is this lady all right this week this week's I npi is brought to you by digi key That's now stocking a new dev board from allureum tech She's not so friend of the fruit, but I wouldn't pick this anyway. This isn't really know that I do we do know this is just a side note We know them they're doing a feather format thing and we help them out with some manufacturing equipment Yeah, this is like we met we're making the feather ecosystem and the things around the feather ecosystem isn't itself ecosystem It's the ecosystem inside the ecosystem inside ecosystem Yeah, this is cool this is our first iron MPI that's been that has been okay So this feather what's interesting is it's kind of like it seems like it's a bit of a collaboration between Intel which makes the FPGA actually they bought Altera, which is the company that makes the FPGA but now it's called like Intel Altera FPGA and again this company allureum that does design consulting for FPGA designed and so one of the things they've done as part of their like consulting Services is that they develop dev board hardware that I think helps them with their consulting because it's like they don't have to Start over every time with a new board And also because customers want to get started quickly prototyping with FPGA's okay, so here is the iron MPI it is The evo m51 so what this is is a a feather shaped board I think it's a little bit longer than a normal feather maybe 2.1 inches Or 2.2 inches by 0.9 inches But it's compatible feather wings some some feather like boards are longer one direction the other it Got a micro USB. It's got a JST. It's got power management. It's got a reset button And for the microcontroller it has a sam v-51 and you can see that kind of in the middle left there It's a smaller BGA chip, so it's kind of like the feather and for express and then This is all on like a single-sided board. It's amazing. They also shoved on there like a massive FPGA from Altera. I think this is a 25 K let max 10 FPGA board FPGA chip they also have a stem a connector neopixel on the right and Looks like some debug pads on the bottom and what's interesting and you can see in these photos They'll show us on the overhead is the plain GP is on the point one inch header are connected to the same 51 And you use those with Arduino as usual you you can use their samd 51 development Boardsport package, which I think is probably based off of ours because I don't know if any other samd 51 Development Boardsport packages, but then all the castellated pads that are kind of in between are connected to the FPGA and The FPGA is connected to the same if you want so some if you want can be used to program the FPGA You can load, you know, you're whatever they're called binaries onto the FPGA It's connected through I squared C so for probably configuration and setup and then a 10 bit parallel bus You can use that to shove data back and forth and there's also the F port, which I actually don't know exactly what that is And I think that's just the FPGA Just GPIO port you can connect that as well for for a non parallel bus Maybe for like control signals and stuff and then the other pins are again brought out to the Pads on the outside. I'll show you how you can actually connect to those pads in a little bit So what's neat about this board is it combines one of my favorite chips of samd 51, which is so capable with an FPGA that is extremely powerful And the samd 51 Circuit Python or be programmed with Arduino again ecosystem ecosystem because it's it's a feather shaped board it We help them with some manufacturing equipment. Yeah It's an INFPI with digi key. It's docked and sold there and you program with circuit Python Yes, so I got my thought yet right now if you want to talk to the FPGA I think the example code is in Arduino, but I know they're gonna be porting it to circuit Python Especially people bug them and say hey, I really that's what I want to use this for And so what's cool about that is you can have the ease of use and quick turn around of writing code in circuit Python for like User interface stuff and then you offload computation to the FPGA So if you want to like, you know, connect to an HDMI display or you want to connect to a camera or you want to do You know, I don't know like some weird mathematical calculations that would be too slow on the same 51 maybe machine learning Calculations you want to offload that to the FPGA you can do it You can also of course program the FPGA and it kind of one standalone so it doesn't communicate with the same if you want to Okay, so then The next thing is how do you connect to those pads? Well, they've got this board called The evil tech and fifty ones. Let's go to the overhead now because I can I can show this off the sorry the evil tray And then you see here the castellations. So there's the main Holes that are used for connecting you can just like through hole solder them and then there's castellations here here And even like a couple of ones over here, although these look like they're the USB connection So that's kind of nice that's right next to the USB port and then this PCB you solder it on and You can just use a little bit of paste or something Sorter and you can connect all the cast lead pads here and then they're brought out to you know 0.1 inch header So it's cool. This is it's it's a single-sided board is probably a four six or eight layer design It's got everything you love about the feather and four express plus this gigantic chip And if you're gonna buy this chip, it's also available on Digi-Key. It's the exact part number is the Altera max 10 10 and 25 DAF So this FPGA Yeah, do you want me to show you The site with the number at all. No, okay This chip on its own is Like $80 $85 or something so the fact that you can get this chip assembled tested with a samd 51 Programming interface and you know can't come to the analog digital on the DAX and the timers and all that that you Can use in concert with the FPGA and it's like under a hundred bucks It's a really good deal like you might as well just get this if you're planning on doing any prototyping and even kind of like into Small-quantity production, but it's actually just less expensive and a lot easier on the hardware designer Like I don't want to route this BGA. It's like a hundred ninety six pads ridiculous So I'm glad that Allurem has done it instead So The next thing and now let's go to the next I just showed that So the next thing is Also, did you key is they have a design integration services registry and you can check that out If you're ever interested in doing like some design and you're kind of hit your limit of what you can do Like I can't quite do like the power supply or I can't quite do the the Wi-Fi certification They do have a bunch of companies that are registered there That you can Use to Chat with them to get Design help and so Allurem is there. So as you're working with the max 10 You know you get the dev board you work with it And then once you're ready to actually implement the max 10 into production you can contract with Allurem They'll help you out. Okay. All right, and then So this is the website in the short URL Yes, that's for the dev kit and we'll show the dev kit the design integration services I didn't give you the URL just Google for that. Okay. Well, it's fine It's under like design integration and then we have a video. Yeah, let's show the video which is a video Cool demo of the board We'll see you on the other side. Yes, the evil m51 module from Allurem technology is the next step in the evolution of our FPGA enhanced Embedded microcontroller boards evil features the 32-bit samd 51 microcontroller along with an Intel max 10 FPGA Evil conforms to the aid of fruit feather specification for primary pinout connectivity and additional key features Primary feather-defined IO signals are available as plated point one inch through whole vias making them very easy to access and solder to standard headers Since evil is designed to be an embeddable module the primary IO are also routed to castellated vias along the edge of the board But we didn't stop there since there's plenty of space on the board and many more available IO on the FPGA Evil also provides an additional 34 digital castellated IO Finally castellated IO's are available for key interfaces such as USB the samd single-wired debugger interface and JTAG enable for bare metal FPGA uploads most of the digital IO connections on evil are routed through the FPGA to and from the primary castellated IO This provides the opportunity for developers to immediately capture inputs or drive outputs from the FPGA without requiring direct Interaction with the samd controller of course with the FPGA and simple pass-through mode The samd can easily control the IO as if the FPGA were not even there as always the team here at allorium promotes the use of custom FPGA logic for implementing key functionality that requires accelerated performance Multiple parallel interfaces or highly deterministic behavior This may include providing offload engines for the samd Pipelines between the samd and the board IO or functions that are completely contained in the FPGA and isolated from the samd All together like our other FPGA based hardware evil m51 will support allorium technology supplied pre-built FPGA images that target specific application use cases in addition designers will again have the option to develop their own Custom logic blocks and integrate them into the top-level max 10 FPGA design out of the box evil is programmable with Arduino Just like many other boards based upon the samd 51 So writing and uploading firmware to the microcontroller is easy and familiar in addition evil was specifically designed to support running circuit Python a version of Python created to run on small microcontrollers Circuit Python is growing in popularity and there's a steady increase in the developer community and number of hardware providers We're hard at work finalizing the interface details between the samd and FPGA and preparing for our initial production run of evil m51 boards We look forward to sharing more information in finer details soon Okay, and don't forget. We're now putting these short URLs up. So if you go to digi.com 4 slash short 4 size z9 m v and c you'll be able to see it in the part numbers That's right. You can pick up a dev board and if they're not in stock There was only a couple last day checked just put some backward or they're getting more There just weren't many made in the first round, but they'll get another one to you in a week or two, okay?
