Reconfigurable hardware platforms
Altium's NanoBoards are unique, reconfigurable hardware platforms that harnesses the power of today's high-capacity, low-cost programmable devices to allow rapid and interactive implementation and debugging of your digital designs.
With the NanoBoard connected to a PC running Altium Designer – the world's first truly unified electronic design system – you can develop, implement, test and bring to market more intelligent digital products faster than previously possible.
Target programmable devices such as FPGAs and processors are housed on plug-in daughter boards, allowing you to easily change the project architecture and providing a truly device and vendor-independent development solution.
The latest release of Altium's NanoBoard, the Desktop NanoBoard, takes the nano-level breadboarding concept introduced with the NanoBoard-NB1 to a whole new level, enhancing your ability to design, implement and debug an entire design before moving to the production PCB.
Use the NanoBoard as a system prototyping and development platform, as an educational hands-on teaching tool, or as a standalone product running a custom system design. Its power, flexibility and tight integration with Altium Designer opens up the exciting possibilities of soft system design to you today.

Introducing the Altium Innovation Station
The Altium Innovation Station combines the award-winning Altium Designer unified electronics design software with the Altium NanoBoard range of reconfigurable hardware platforms. This approach puts device intelligence at the core of the design process. A complete, unified electronics design environment that unlocks a new way to create and bring to market intelligent, connected electronic products.
Daughter boards
Altium's NanoBoard architecture is unique in that target programmable devices are housed on plug-in daughter boards, enabling you to easily change the target project architecture, providing a truly FPGA vendor-independent development board.
With the release of the Desktop NanoBoard, peripherals available to the host FPGA are now delivered on removable peripheral boards, providing a simple and cost-effective method for rapid prototyping of hardware concepts.
