Xilinx Arty A7 User manual

22.8.2018 Arty A7 Reference Manual [Reference.Digilentinc]
https://reference.digilentinc.com/reference/programmable-logic/arty-a7/reference-manual 1/26
The Arty A7, formerly known as the Arty, is a ready-to-use development platform designed around the Artix-7™ Field Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA) from Xilinx. It was designed specifically for use as a MicroBlaze Soft Processing System. When used in this context,
the Arty A7 becomes the most flexible processing platform you could hope to add to your collection, capable of adapting to whatever
your project requires. Unlike other Single Board Computers, the Arty A7 isn't bound to a single set of processing peripherals: One
moment it's a communication powerhouse chock-full of UARTs, SPIs, IICs, and an Ethernet MAC, and the next it's a meticulous
timekeeper with a dozen 32-bit timers.
