March 21, 2006 (Press Release) --
HDK-0501 is the fastest way to get a digital logic circuit running, with an added bonus of controlling and interactively monitoring your circuit while it runs! HDK-0501’s unique software allows you to program your digital design from a visual interface into an FPGA, run it, control it and observe it for debugging, and save to ROM for automatic FPGA configuration at power-on.
HDK-0501 uses a 200,000-gate 3.3V Xilinx FPGA which includes 5000 flip-flops, 96 x I/O lines, and is like “an FPGA with an Operating System”, creating a programmable controller with the ability to enter, display, run, and pause the ‘program’, displaying and modifying the data as needed. But here the ‘program’ is a real digital circuit that runs at real digital circuit speeds.
HDK-0501 is “Instant Logic” and operates straight out of the box. Your circuit can contain simple logic elements like gates and flip-flops, or complex functions limited only by the FPGA’s capacity - state machines and highly complex sub-systems can be entered too. HDK-0501 implements synchronous logic circuits with clock speeds 10 to 100MHz, and can be run, paused or single stepped one clock at a time. Circuit state, including data, signals and state machine states can be continuously displayed on the PC screen.
With Interactive Logic software, circuits are entered in a visual interface as schematics and state diagrams organized on the project tree. This offers significant advantages in understanding circuit operation and debugging logic circuit designs, including the ability to set breakpoints to pause on predefined conditions for circuit debug. Drawing a schematic using library components, compiling the circuit, and observing it running, takes just a few minutes for simple circuits. Of course, complex circuits take longer, but even complex circuits can be completed more quickly than by other methods. You can even modify a running circuit without disrupting circuit values in unmodified portions, or automatically determine maximum clock frequency for error-free operation.
Intended for low-volume situations requiring the speed and flexibility of digital circuitry, HDK-0501’s applications include: digital prototyping (immediately-available proven, customizable hardware); research (experimental circuits, control and monitoring); low-quantity systems (test equipment, custom instrumentation and equipment control); fast parallel systems (Processing fast or multiple signals in parallel); teaching (demonstrating digital circuits, lab projects); TCP/IP interfacing (equipment to PC interface, remote monitoring and control)
Manufactured by Hevday (NZ), HDK-0501 is available from their distributor Saelig Co. Inc. from stock at $499.00 and includes all you need to get the FPGA running, including voltage regulation, decoupling, power-on reset, selectable frequency clock, flash ROM for FPGA configuration, and connectors/cables.
