(Below) The Xilinx Student Edition also includes a coupon for the "XS95-108"
and the "XS40-005XL" development board kits at a significantly discounted
price. The kit includes a download cable, a development board, downloading
utilities and instructions.
Features of the XS95 and XS40 boards are:
-
Supports all XC9500 or XC4000XL devices in 84-pin PLCC package
-
8051 microcontroller
-
32KByte SRAM
-
7 Segment LED Display
-
Cable and instructions to download designs directly from any PC's parallel
port
-
Bytewide data or test vector interface to the CPLD or FPGA
-
PROM socket on the XS40 FPGA-based board
-
Easy Access to CPLD or FPGA I/O Pins
-
I/O Access pins plug directly into standard solderless breadboards
-
Multiple boards can be daisy chained to each other
The connector pins, which run along both sides of the board, allow for
easy prototyping and access to all of the I/O pins on the programmable
logic device. Additionally, the pins are designed to be inserted into any
standard solderless breadboard. This is perfect for lab development and
student projects in which the student may wish to connect the development
board to other devices such as A/D converters, LEDs, external clocks, diodes
or other system level circuitry. |
