Introductory FPGA Boards

Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and system-on-chip (SoC) technology is complicated. Sometimes you want a simple FPGA that's accessible enough to get you off the ground. Digilent got started as a designer of FPGA boards specifically for enabling hands-on learning of electronics in the classroom. Teaching and training FPGA boards are hardware platforms designed to help students, engineers, and hobbyists learn how to design and implement digital systems using FPGA technology.

These boards are specifically tailored for educational purposes, offering features and tools that simplify learning complex concepts such as digital logic design, hardware description languages (HDLs), and SoC development. The FPGA and SoC boards within this category are designed for making electronics learning as simple as possible, and we also provide an academic discount! Of course, with expansion through Pmod ports, and Arduino headers on select boards, the system board options are limitless. Our introductory boards are also great for small projects where affordability and ease of use is key.

Note: AMD (previously known as Xilinx) software tools are not available for download in some countries. Prior to purchasing a Digilent FPGA/SoC, please check the supporting software's availability, as it is required for the board's use.
