OSCAR Platform
Platform for network compatible industrial equipment with Intel MAX 10 FPGA

OSCAR plarform is developed mainly for IoT network devices.
- With MAX10 10M50 mounted: Single-chip custom CPU can be implemented by using NiosII, since it is possible to use FLASH that can be concurrently used as RAM with sufficient capacity and Configuration ROM.
- With External SDRAM, QSPI Flash: Can be expanded in accordance with the software application size.
- Since two 10/100 PHYs are mounted in the FPGA, network-enabled devices can be easily implemented by using TSE MAC from Intel Corporation etc.


EtherCAT Implementation
- Hardware Master
It is possible to evaluate our hardware master.
It is developed as an “instant EtherCAT” in retrofit to existing CPU boards. - Slave
Ethernet of the FPGA can also be used as a slave by implementing BECKHOFF EtherCAT slave IP etc.
