Azio has launched the first interface board for Myriad RF, a non-profit, open-source RF hardware project. The DE0-Nano interface board connects to the Myriad-RF1 allowing users to easily connect to Altera Cyclone IV FPGAs (on Terasic’s $80 DEO-Nano board). The DE0-Nano also provides a USB connector to link Myriad directly to PCs and Raspberry Pi to set up the board.

Azio has also announced a competition with its first 250 customers being entered into a draw for a free DE0-Nano interface board. Full details on the board and competition are on the Azio website: http://www.azio-tw.com/?p=2004

The Myriad RF project was launched in March by Lime Microsystems to increase access – and therefore the number of people using RF hardware – in order to further innovation in the sector.
