Altium is offering another daughterboard for its desktop NanoBoard reconfigurable hardware development platform.

The new daughterboard is aimed at FPGA-based applications and hosts a member of the Xilinx Virtex-4 device family, the XC4VSX35-10FFG668C device.

The latest plug-in daughter board targets also features Altera’s low-cost Cyclone III EP3C40 FPGA in a 780 BGA package.

The board includes a range of on-board memories for application use and a 1-Wire memory device used to store board identification and related information.

Other Xilinx device daughter boards already available include the Virtex-4 (LX), Spartan-3, Spartan-3A and Spartan-3AN devices.

Altium Designer and Altium's desktop NanoBoard, which comes standard with a choice of one FPGA daughter board, are available from Altium or Digi-Key.
