The DE10-nano only includes an HDMI connector, so this board is needed if one wants VGA support. I/O Adds a VGA connector, a 3.5mm audio jack, optical audio, three buttons, three LEDs, a secondary SD card slot, a USB 3.0-like expansion connector, and a fan that cools the FPGA. The 128MB module currently is only required for a handful of Neo Geo games (about 15% of the library), but this includes notable ones like Metal Slug 3 and Garou. With the 32MB module, you can play 99% of what is available on MiSTer. SDRAM modules generally come in two sizes 32MB and 128MB. Highly recommended, but even without the additional SDRAM module, many cores will still function when using the 1GB of DDR3 ram that comes on the De-10 Nano board itself.
SDRAM Allows FPGA cores to use memory that's better suited for reimplementations. All of them are optional for the basic usage of the FPGA, but some cores may require the SDRAM board. The project also maintains schematics for add-on boards that users can add onto the DE10-nano. The DE10-nano only includes HDMI output so the I/O board, or an HDMI to VGA adapter, are required if VGA output is desired.įollow these two pages to get started (and this one if you plan on using a core that requires SDRAM). MiSTer also maintains schematics for a few additional boards some cores will often require the SDRAM board, as it allows for better handling of memory than what the DDR3 unit provides. The difference between a board like the DE10-nano and, say, a Raspberry Pi is the addition of an entire FPGA which handles the bulk of the system core.
MiSTer is a fork of MiST, which is a similar project the difference is that MiSTer targets a more powerful board to allow for more complex hardware implementations.Ĭontrary to what one might think, the Terasic DE10-nano doesn't just have an FPGA the system also contains an ARM processor and DDR3 memory which is used with an optimized Linux kernel to interface with files- the system can even run Lubuntu 16.04 if one wanted to. It reimplements various console, arcade, and computer hardware on the Terasic DE10-nano development board as opposed to running projects like Lakka on an ARM-based DIY emulation box. MiSTer is an open source hardware reimplementation project designed to be used on an FPGA. You can help Emulation General Wiki by improving it. This article is a work in progress (WIP).
