The MKR VIDOR 4000 is nothing less than a powerhouse of a board, packing a huge set of features into a small form factor. It features the Intel® Cyclone® 10CL016 for FPGA (Field Programming Gate Array), allowing you to configure a large set of pins to accommodate any of your preferences. But why stop there? The board also has a camera connector, a Micro HDMI connector, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth® connectivity through the NINA-W102 module, and cyber-security through the ECC508 crypto chip. Just like the other members of the MKR family, it uses the popular Cortex-M0 32-bit SAMD21 microprocessor.

The board's microcontroller is a low power Arm® Cortex®-M0 32-bit SAMD21, like in the other boards within the Arduino MKR family. The WiFi and Bluetooth® connectivity is performed with a module from u-blox, the NINA-W10, a low power chipset operating in the 2.4GHz range. On top of that, secure communication is ensured through the Microchip® ECC508 crypto chip. Also, you can find a battery charger, and a directionable RGB LED on-board.
