What's On Board

1. XC3S500E:the XILINX Spartan-3E FPGA device which features:

2. AMS1117-3.3, 3.3V voltage regulator

3. AMS1117-2.5, 2.5V voltage regulator

4. AMS1117-1.2, 1.2V voltage regulator

5. XCF04S, onboard serial FLASH memory, for storing code

6. Power indicator

7. LEDs

8. FPGA initialization indicator

9. Reset button

10. nCONFIG button: for re-configuring the FPGA chip, the equivalent of power reseting

13. FPGA pins expander, VCC, GND and all the I/O ports are accessible on expansion connectors for further expansion

Photos

Note:

Core3S500E provides JTAG debugging interface, yet does NOT integrate any debugging function, a debugger is required.

Mother board and programmer/debugger in the photos are NOT included in the price.

Debugging/Programming Interface

The Core3S500E FPGA core board integrates JTAG interface for programming/debugging.
