Alchitry Au+ - development kit with Xilinx Artix 7 XC7A100T FPGA

Description

Alchitry Au+ is an evaluation kit equipped with a Xilinx Artix 7 XC7A100T FPGA chip with over 100,000 logic cells and 256 MB of DDR3 RAM. Offers 102 3.3V IO pins, 20 of which are switchable to 1.8V, nine differential analog inputs, eight general-purpose LEDs, built-in 100MHz clock that can be manipulated internally via FPGA, USB-C connector for configuration and power supply of the board and a USB interface for data transfer. The board also has a Qwiic connector, which facilitates the connection of sensors and expansion modules compatible with this standard.

Alchitry is a project aimed at providing the necessary tools for beginners to learn FPGA - from cheap kits, through numerous teaching aids and an integrated work environment.

The kit is powered by Vivado, the latest Xilinx design tools. The system can be programmed using standard languages ​​- Verilog and Lucid languages ​​are dedicated to the set, for which the manufacturer has prepared numerous tutorials.
