Honored ContributorAltera Cyclone 10 First chips
Hi, does any one knows when we will be able to get hands on Cyclone 10 chips ? We have project where this device will fit perfectly, since MAX10 is not big enough, and can't connect to 32b SDR...

Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- It doesn't look like there will be a C10 SoC anytime soon (or ever). My guess is that Cyclone V SoC is still the low cost option if you need to use ARM --- Quote End --- What makes you think so ? We considered the ARM to do some run-time programmable low-speed (~100kHz) signal processing, for which, I think, the NIOS does not have enough speed, but which an ARM core could do. I think the Cyclone V SoC should be able to do that, but I am not so sure if this is a good solution for the next 5-10 years. It does not look like the Arria is even coming close in price, so we would have to consider other options. If there will be no updates, we could also consider other options.
