The DE0-Nano Interface Board, also known as the Digital Interface Board, allows the Myriad-RF 1 to be paired with the DE0-Nano FPGA Development System through the RFDIO Interface. The DE0-Nano Interface Board acts as a motherboard for the Myriad-RF 1 and the DE0-Nano FPGA Development System, mating the two together with a high-speed interface. The DE0-Nano Interface Board is not designed for use with any other FPGA development system; for other development systems, the Zipper Interface Board should be used instead.
