Terasic's VEEK-MT2S development kit is a comprehensive design environment with everything embedded developers need to create processing-based systems. The VEEK-MT2S delivers an integrated platform including hardware, design tools, and reference designs for developing embedded software and hardware platforms in a wide range of applications. The fully integrated kit allows developers to rapidly customize their processor and IP to best suit their specific application. The VEEK-MT2S features a DE10-Standard development board targeting Altera Cyclone® V SX SoC FPGA, as well as a capacitive LCD multimedia color touch panel which natively supports five points multi-touch and gestures.
The all-in-one embedded solution offered on the VEEK-MT2S, in combination of a LCD touch panel and digital image module, provides embedded developers the ideal platform for multimedia applications with unparalleled processing performance. Developers can benefit from the use of FPGA-based embedded processing system such as mitigating design risk and obsolescence, design reuse, lowering bill of material (BOM) costs by integrating powerful graphics engines within the FPGA.
