CYC1000 IoT / Maker Board
1.1 About Arrow CYC1000 Board
The CYC1000 is a customizable IoT / Maker Board ready for evaluation, development and/or use
in a product. It is built around the Intel Cyclone 10 LP FPGA, which is optimized for low-cost and
low-power, making them ideal for high-volume and cost-sensitive applications. High density sea
of programmable gates and on-board resources allow implementation of Nios II 32-bit
microcontroller IP, which provides the ideal solution for I/O expansion, chip-to-chip interfacing,
industrial, automotive and consumer applications.
The CYC1000 is equipped with an Arrow USB Programmer2, SDRAM, flash memory,
accelerometer sensor and PMOD/ADRUINO MKR connectors making it a fully featured plug and
play solution without any additional costs.
The CYC1000 board contains all the tools needed to use the board in conjunction with a computer
that runs a 64-bit Linux / Microsoft Windows 7 operating system or later.

Connections and Peripherals of the CYC1000 Board
3.1 Board Status Elements
In addition to the 8 LEDs that the FPGA can control, there are 2 additional LEDs which can indicate
the status of the board.
Board Reference
LED Name
Description
D1
3.3V
On when 3.3V power is active
D10
CONF_DONE
On when configuration data was loaded to Cyclone 10 LP
device without error
3.2 Clock Circuitry
All the external clocks of the system can be seen in Figure 4. The default clock (CLK12M) is at
12MHz and is connected and driving the FPGA’s user logic and the Arrow USB Programmer2.
There is an optional slot of another clock (CLK_X) to add another preferred clock source to the
FPGA. Both clocks are driving the internal PLLs.
For more information on clocks and PLLs of the Cyclone 10 LP, please refer to this document.
