INTRODUCTION

The FPGA trainer is a versatile tool for experimenting with standard FPGAs / CPLDs with provision to mount a daughter board on the base board.

The daughter board comes with various FPGA and CPLD options from XILINX and ALTERA. It also provides test pins to connect Pattern generator and Logic analyzer to connect various Inputs and Outputs of the FPGA. Apart from this the base board contains various interface options to readily connect switches and displays etc. A number of tutorial exercises have been worked out. An exhaustive easy to follow documentation has been provided for quick learning of various environments, schematic and VHDL programming.
