Atlys Spartan-6 FPGA Trainer Board

The Atlys circuit board is a complete, ready-to-use digital circuit development platform based on a Xilinx® Spartan®-6 LX45 FPGA. The on-board collection of high-end peripherals, including Gbit Ethernet, HDMI Video, 128 MB DDR2 memory array, audio and USB ports make the Atlys board an ideal host for complete digital systems built around embedded processors like Xilinx's MicroBlaze™. Atlys is fully compatible with all Xilinx CAD tools, including ChipScope™, EDK, and the free WebPACK™, so designs can be completed with no extra costs.

The Atlys board can be communicated with, and programmed by, Digilent Adept software. In addition, the board can be programmed by Xilinx's iMPACT™ using the Digilent Plugin for Xilinx Tools.

Note:

The required USB-UART driver is available for free download from Exar.

Linux® developers: The Atlys board is supported by PetaLinux SDK for an out-of-the-box embedded Linux solution.
