Key Features
Intel MAX 10 FPGA – 16K LE
Embedded 8-bit microcontroller
50 digital I/O
16 differential I/O pairs
6 analog inputs
UART, SPI, I2C
SparkFun MicroMod M.2 Form Factor
Alorium’s FPGA Technology
Designed for the MicroMod Ecosystem!
The Sno M2 Processor Board packs all the features and functionality of our Snō FPGA module into a compact M.2 edge-connector form factor that is plug-and-play compatible with the SparkFun MicroMod ecosystem.
SparkFun’s MicroMod ecosystem provides an array of modular Processor Boards and Function Boards that can be easily used with one of the many Carrier Boards through the use of a standard M.2 connector interface.
We are thrilled to collaborate with SparkFun on this board offering and can’t wait to see what people will be building with Sno M2 and MicroMod!

In addition, we have created a few more resources that may be handy for getting started with Sno M2:
Xcelerator Blocks
“Xcelerator Block”, or “XB” for short, is the term that we use to describe a hardware implementation of a given function or algorithm that resides on the programmable portion of FPGA fabric. XBs communicate with the FPGA-based AVR microcontroller through the addressable register interface.
Sno M2 ships with the pre-installed XBs listed on the right. Sno M2 can be field-updated to change the XBs implemented on the FPGA. Learn more about XBs on the Xcelerator Blocks page.
XBs Pre-installed on Sno M2
Servo Control
Quadrature
Floating Point Math
OpenXLR8
OpenXLR8 is the methodology that allows users to create their own custom Xcelerator Blocks and integrate them into the FPGA on the Sno M2 Processor Board. This methodology is a proven process developed for use with all of Alorium Technology’s FPGA-based products and used my many customers to successfully create custom FPGA functionality.
