The cost of the NanoBoard has also dropped from $2500 to $1995. After the first year the support charge is $1500 annually per license. A single-user perpetual license now costs $3995, including one year of support. For the first time the company is offering an individual license for $195 US per month on a 12-month contract. This week Altium, in a further effort to proselytize their idea, announced a rather drastic price cut for several forms of their tool license. Once the design is working on Altium’s FPGA-based target board, the NanoBoard, there is a direct path to a manufacturable PCB design. By dealing with the mechanics of implementing a platform more or less automatically, the Altium folks claim, they free designers to concentrate on the functional blocks that actually differentiate the design. The folks at Altium have spent some time now pitching their unique idea for electronics system design: a top-down, drag’n'drop approach that offers the user a huge pool of processor, function, and connectivity IP and software, which the Altium Designer tool assembles into a waiting FPGA more or less before your eyes.
