Expanded features are available through purchase of the Design Edition.Digilent USB-JTAG port for FPGA programming and communication.On-chip analog-to-digital converter (XADC).Internal clock speeds exceeding 450 MHz.Five clock management tiles, each with a phase-locked loop (PLL).33,280 logic cells in 5200 slices (each slice contains four 6-input LUTs and 8 flip-flops).Features the Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA: XC7A35T-1CPG236C.* Only available with Vivado Design Edition - Additional Documentation can be found on the Digilent resource center for Basys 3.
These capabilities include block-based IP integration (which can reduce development time up to 10x) and the Vivado Logic/Serial I/O analyzer *. Compared to ISE, Vivado offers an improved user experience and expanded capabilities.
The most significant change to the Basys 3 is the upgrade to Xilinx Vivado Design Suite, the most modern design tool chain used by professional engineers worldwide. Industry's First SoC Strenth Design Suite With the new Artix FPGA comes 15X the logic cells (from 2,160 to 33,280) and the upgrade from multipliers to true DSP slices. You can download the attached '.zip' file and unzip it. The link below provides a thorough tutorial and reference for using Vivado effectively for this project and future projects. Modern Architecture and Modern Programming Challengesĭue to the migration from the Spartan-3E family to the Artix-7 class of device, the Basys 3 offers a substantial increase in hardware capabilities. Step 3: Programming Your Basys 3 Board Before using Vivado, it is important to understand where all VHDL/Verilog files are to be stored and how they will be accessed. The Basys 3 includes the standard features found on all Basys boards: complete ready-to-use hardware, a large collection of on-board I/O devices, all required FPGA support circuits, a free version of development tools, and at a student-level price point.ĭouble the user interface switches, double the number of onboard outputs, upgraded the number of external ports (moving from 6-pin single-row Pmods to 12-pin double-row Pmods) and included for the first time on a Basys class device a USB-UART bridge. Basys 3 is the newest addition to the popular line of Basys development boards, and is perfectly suited for students or beginners just getting started with FPGA technology. The Basys 3 is an entry-level FPGA development board designed exclusively for Vivado Design Suite, featuring Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA architecture.
