Hardware setup

The EVAL-CN0579-ARDZ connects to the carrier board via the Arduino headers.

Both carriers share the same Arduino form factor, so the EVAL-CN0579-ARDZ mounts identically on the De10-Nano and Cora Z7. The only difference is that the Cora Z7 uses a Micro-USB cable while the DE10-Nano uses a Mini-USB cable for the UART connection.
