Mimas Lattice ECP5 Mini FPGA Development Board is a versatile and cost-effective FPGA development board. It is designed to be compact and robust, with a well-rounded selection of components and expansion slots. While its primary use is for mastering digital circuit design principles, the Mimas ECP5 also boasts a diverse array of features and interfaces. […]
Numato Lab introduces a powerful SOM (System on Module) based on Travos – AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC is a powerful and flexible embedded system solution with up to six heterogeneous ARM processor cores (four 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 and two 32-bit ARM Cortex-R5 Cores), an ARM Mali-400 MP2 GPU, and a big chunk of the latest-generation […]
Introduction Designing and building an FPGA development board that has two BGA devices was challenging enough. But what came next did seem equally challenging to us in the beginning. That challenge was testing the functionality of the DDR interface. We had no prior experience of successfully building a board with a DDR device. And those […]
Rohit at Technology Realm recently did a cool job of interfacing the Xilinx CPLD Breakout Board with a 16×2 LCD module. He used Chipmunk JTAG to download bitfile on to the CPLD. Thanks Rohit for sharing this excellent blog post. Read the complete blog post at his blog “Technology Realm“.
Rohit Singh put together a nice tutorial on designing an 8 bit counter using VHDL. Complete article is available at http://technologyrealm.blogspot.in/2013/06/8-bit-binary-counter-using-vhdl-on.html
Its been a while since we promised about a low cost JTAG hardware for hackers. Other priorities kept us away from working on this for a long time. At last, after a few days worth of coding and debugging, Chipmunk JTAG is now ready to roll. This is still a work in progress. There are […]
We designed and published a Xilinx Spartan 6 based FPGA development board a few months ago and gave away a few bare PCBs as well. Since we didn’t have plans to make it a sellable product, it was sidelined for a while. But many readers did like the board and wanted to know if we […]
We designed a CPLD breakout board many months ago based on Ian Lesnet’s CPLD breakout design. Like many other CPLD/FPGA platforms, you need a JTAG programmer/adapter to program the onboard CPLD. Many of the JTAG programmers out there that supports Xilinx CPLDs seems to cost a couple hundred dollars at a minimum. One of the […]
For those who ordered Spartan 6 + ATSAM, here is the schematics and PCB layout. As mentioned earlier, this board is never assembled or tested. There are some known issues with the physical boards distributed. The SUSPEND pin of the FPGA is left floating, and may cause problems during configuration (this is fixed in the […]
