1．Introduction
The STEP-MAX10 development board presents a robust, portable and easy-to-learn
hardware design platform built around the Altera MAX10 FPGA. The MAX10 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
MAX10 FPGA, you can get lower power consumption / cost and higher performance. If you
are a starter to FPGA, the STEP-MAX10 FPGA Development board is your best choice.
The STEP-MAX10 FPGA development board includes hardware such as on-board USB Blaster,
7-Segment Displays, LEDs, GPIOs and much more. By leveraging all of these capabilities, the
STEP MAX10 FPGA development board is the perfect solution for learning FPGA, evaluating
and prototyping the true potential of the Altera MAX10 FPGA.
