Digilent Arty A7-100T Development Board

Digilent Arty A7-100T Development Board is a ready-to-use development platform designed around the Artix-7™ Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Xilinx®. This development board is designed specifically to be used as a MicroBlaze soft processing system. The Arty A7-100T development board provides adaptability and a flexible processing platform when used as a MicroBlaze. This development board is bound to multiple sets of processing peripherals. The Arty A7-100T development board features a communication powerhouse chock-full of UARTs, SPIs, I2Cs, and an Ethernet MAC. This development board also features a precise timekeeper with twelve 32-bit timers.

The Arty A7-100T Development Board is fully compatible with the high-performance Vivado® design suite. This development board is supported under the free WebPACK™ license and the designs can be implemented at no additional cost. This free license includes the ability to create MicroBlaze™ soft-core processor designs.
