Altium Designer is the industry's only unified electronics product development system. The new release of Altium Designer 6 has over 300 new features, and provides a complete unified design environment that brings together board-level, programmable device and software design within a single application. These new features include real-time 3D board rendering, signal harnessing to group any collection of wires, buses or other signal harnesses, an OpenBus graphical editor to quickly create system structure, and the ability to compile ANSI C functions directly to hardware. These features combine to let designers exploit the potential of the latest electronics technologies such as high-capacity, low-cost FPGAs, and to move to a 'soft' design methodology without the need to acquire specialist programmable device expertise. Altium Designer replaces traditional, disparate design flows, unifying the design of the board, programmable hardware and embedded software. The result? Increased design flexibility, reduced production costs, better protection of intellectual property, quicker time to market, higher design abstraction and easier design re-use.

Altium's NanoBoard range is the industry's first reconfigurable hardware platform that allows engineers to harness the power of FPGA technology to enable rapid and interactive implementation and debugging of electronics designs. The range has been specially designed to take full advantage of Altium Designer's unified electronic product development environment. Altium's NanoBoard architecture is unique in that it features interchangeable FPGA, processor and peripheral boards. Target programmable devices are housed on plug-in FPGA daughter boards. Engineers can easily change the target architecture, with the NanoBoard providing a versatile reconfigurable development and deployment platform independent of the choice of FPGA, processor or functional peripherals.
