Lowest power consumption FPGA technology coupled with low price point evaluation board and tools
Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, today introduced “ARTY,” a low
power, low-cost Xilinx® Artix®-7 35T FPGA
Evaluation Kit. This fully customizable evaluation kit for embedded
designers provides a flexible, expandable platform for prototyping
designs based on Xilinx’s Artix-7 FPGA family. The evaluation kit offers
users a complete development system for exploring FPGA designs for cost
sensitive, low-power, embedded applications. The ARTY Kit is available
now for $99.00.
The small form-factor ARTY board supports multiple expansion
capabilities by having Arduino™ compatible and chipKIT™ IDE
header connectors, along with four Digilent Pmod™ compatible headers.
This combination of 80+ I/O allows unprecedented capability for users to
interface with the hundreds of Arduino Shields and Digilent Pmods
available. Development based on Xilinx’s MicroBlaze soft processor core
is enabled with the on-board 256 MB DDR3 SRAM, 10/100 Ethernet
interface, USB-UART and an assortment of switches, LEDs and analog
inputs.
“The ARTY Evaluation Kit is a valuable tool for general purpose FPGA
evaluation,” said Jim Beneke, vice president of global technical
marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing. “The included peripherals and
expansion interfaces make the kit particularly helpful to designers
looking to validate their next design - from experimenting with Arduino
shields and integrating multiple sensors to running a Linux-based web
server on the MicroBlaze core.”
“The ARTY board, based on our Artix-7 FPGA, provides a complete FPGA
evaluation platform with a full Vivado Design Edition seat, and enables
designers to have a quick and easy jumpstart for their embedded
applications ranging from Linux-based systems to light-weight
microcontroller applications,” said Evan Leal, product marketing
director, boards and kits at Xilinx. “The kit is adaptable, it’s easy to
use, and at $99, it’s the perfect evaluation tool for the curious
engineer.”
The Xilinx Artix®-7 35T FPGA Evaluation Kit includes:
-
ARTY 35T Evaluation Board
-
Xilinx Vivado®: Design Edition Voucher card (device-locked
to XC7A35T)
