Using SPI and I2C on MAX10

Hi Community, 

 

I have a question about using SPI and I2C with the MAX10. 

There are no dedicated pins for SPI and I2C on the MAX10 pin description. 

Does that mean I can decide which pins I want to use for this? 

 

It will be a simple answered question for you but I'm not sure about this. 

 

Thanks in advance 

Jérôme

Hi Jérôme, 

there are not any hardened I2C/SPI blocks in MAX 10. Therefore no dedicated pins exist for these protocols and it is necessary to implement it in FPGA. 

 

Best regards, 

Martin

Yes, you can use any of the standard I/O pins for connecting to SPI and/or I2C compatible devices. 

 

Cheers, 

Alex
