Introduction
The T-Core presents a robust hardware design platform built around the Intel MAX 10 FPGA. The
MAX 10 FPGA is well equipped to provide cost effective, single-chip solutions in control plane or
data path applications and industry-leading programmable logic for ultimate design flexibility. With
MAX 10 FPGA, you can get lower power consumption / cost and higher performance. When you
need high-volume applications, including protocol bridging, motor control drive, analog to digital
conversion, and handheld devices, the T-Core MAX 10 FPGA is your best choice.
The T-Core development board includes hardware such as on-board USB Blaster II, QSPI Flash,
ADC-Header, WS2812B RGB LEDs and 2x6 TMD expansion header. By leveraging all of these
capabilities, the T-Core is the perfect solution for showcasing, evaluating, and prototyping the true
potential of the Intel MAX 10 FPGA.
T-Core also supports RISC-V CPU with on-board JTAG debug, it is an ideal platform for learning
RISC-V CPU design or embedded system design.
