3.3 Power Supply
The MKR Vidor can be powered through one of these interfaces:
USB: Micro USB-B port. Used to power the board at 5 V.
Vin: This pin can be used to power the board with a regulated 5 V source. If the power is fed through this pin,
the USB power source is disconnected. This is the only way you can supply 5 V (range is 5 V to maximum 6 V) to
the board not using USB. The pin is only an INPUT.
5V: This pin outputs 5 V from the board when powered from the USB connector or from the VIN pin of the
board. It is unregulated and the voltage is taken directly from the inputs.
VCC: This pin outputs 3.3 V through the on-board voltage regulator. This voltage is 3.3 V if USB or VIN is used.
Battery: 3.7 V single-cell lithium-ion/lithium-polymer battery, connected through the onboard battery
connector JST S2B-PH-SM4-TB(LF)(SN). The mating connector is JST PHR-2.
4 Device Operation
4.1 Getting Started - IDE
If you want to program your MKR Vidor 4000 while offline you need to install the Arduino Desktop IDE [1]. To
connect the MKR Vidor 4000 to your computer, you will need a micro USB-B cable.
4.2 Getting Started - Intel Cyclone HDL & Synthesis
If you want to use HDL Languages to design, synthesize and upload new circuits inside the Intel® Cyclone FPGA you
need to install the official Intel® Quartus Prime software. Check the following documentation to know more [2].
4.3 Getting Started - Arduino Web Editor
All Arduino devices work out-of-the-box on the Arduino Web Editor [3] by just installing a simple plugin.
The Arduino Web Editor is hosted online, therefore it will always be up-to-date with the latest features and support
for all boards and devices. Follow [4] to start coding on the browser and upload your sketches onto your device.
