Development
Agora is designed to support the deployment of standard hardware/software configurations as well as the
development of custom hardware or software solutions. Whether Agora is being used as an integrated component
within an end product or it’s being used for development to clear the way for a custom integration solution,
hardware and software development are essential parts of Agora’s time-to-market solution success.

Development | Programming & Flidor Development Board
Development of the Agora board is supported by the Flidor programming & debugging board. This host
board connects to the Agora using the Tectonic Edge™ interface and acts as a drag-and-drop programming
interface, debug interface, and hardware breakout interface. Power to an Agora board can be supplied through
many different interfaces using Flidor, including USB-micro, barrel jacks, JST LiPo battery connector, and more.
Programming through Flidor can be done over USB or through ARM Cortex headers. Flidor also provides
breakout lines of power lines, GPIO, and signal lines (UART, I
2
C, QSPI, and more). Current measurements can be
accommodated through Flidor for some signals through the use of optional pin headers and/or cut traces.
A Flidor board is included in the Agora Development Kit for the operator to program and develop on
their Agora. For more information on Flidor, please visit
