DE0 nano Mechanical Drawings

I'm currently working on a PCB which will host a DE0 nano as a mezzanine board.  

Is it possible to have a mechanical drawing representing the exact positions of the GPIO 1, GPIO 2, power header and mechanical holes ? 

 

I didn't find it in the "DE0-Nano CD-ROM" neither on the Internet...

Have you tried Terasic?

Yes. 

In fact to come here I clicked on the FORUM button in the Terasic website.

==> I have employed the DE-Nano as a daughter board. Mechanically, the dimensions you need to figure out for yourself. Additionally, I contacted Terasic and asked them if the would sell DE-Nano boards without the headers installed. They said that they couldn't do it, it was too much trouble. Needless to say, Terasic isn't at the top of my favorite vendor list, nor do I endorse them. The positive of the DE-Nano is that it's dirt cheap. You can't buy the parts alone for the price that Terasic sells it. Also, their documentation leaves a bit to be desired.  

 

Best, James

Can you share your results please ? 

So I can start to work before I get my board.

I too was searching for the same data and was sent the attached file by terasic - hope this helps others who may be looking. Note we have yet to build a board based on this data so please validate dimensions yourself (just is case...)

First of all thanks a lot for the file! I used it to design a little breakout board with VGA, a couple 7-segment displays, push-buttons and an audio jack. Although I still need to validate the circuitry, build and test the actual board, from a 1:1 scale printout it looks like a perfect fit (see picture). I'll post more once I have the PCB printed and populated.

Idunno who's still finding this link, but I'm using the DE0-Nano to pick up FPGA as well.

 

I used this site:

https://enclosurefactory.online

 

to create this fixture:

fixture2-mfaik.zip (stl enclosed)

 

from the drawing in this thread.

Thanks
