Nexys Video AMD Artix 7 FPGA Trainer Boards
Nexys Video AMD Artix 7 FPGA: Trainer Board for Multimedia Applications
The Nexys Video is a powerful platform for audio/video applications. Built around the AMD Artix 7 XC7A200T, the Nexys Video has all the performance and FPGA real estate needed for high-bandwidth and low-latency A/V processing. Utilizing A/V signals is made easy with an on-board Mini DisplayPort, three high-speed digital video ports, and a 24-bit audio codec. One can conveniently scale their design with Ethernet, UART, and USB interfaces and integrate it into larger systems. There is no limit to customizability with the 160-pin FMC LPC connector and four additional Pmod ports. The Nexys Video is supported by AMD Vivado Design Suite, including the free WebPACK edition, making the Nexys Video a great option for any budget.
Nexys A7 AMD Artix 7 FPGA Trainer Board: Recommended for ECE Curriculum
The Nexys A7 is an incredibly accessible, yet powerful, FPGA development board. Designed around the AMD Artix 7 FPGA family, the Nexys A7 is a ready-to-use digital circuit development platform that brings industry applications into the classroom environment. Students can start learning right away with the Nexys A7 thanks to its versatile selection of interfaces, such as 10/100 Ethernet, USB, UART, JTAG, and VGA. With a built-in temperature sensor, microphone, and accelerometer, students can work on a variety of projects without needing any additional hardware. Of course, 5 Pmod ports are available for additional customizability and applications. The Nexys A7-100T features the Artix 7 XC7A100T-1CSG324C FPGA. The Nexys A7 is supported by the AMD Vivado Design Suite, along with the free Standard edition, which helps keep costs down for students.
