Their advertising says ”The board includes two 40-pin general purpose expansion headers and an Arduino® (Uno R3) header to support a wide range of sensors, controllers, and displays.” MachineKit has ported the Mesa software to the earlier board DE0-Nano-SoC that has been end-of-life’d. I am trying to get the software to run on the newer DE10-Nano.
