This project was created on 08/29/2015 and last updated 8 years ago.

Description

AreaCPLD is a break out development board based on altera maxV cpld family, which provides low cost and low power consumption compared to other cpld families. The project has been developed using Kicad and it's open hardware under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (cc-by-4.0).

The purpose of the board is to make an easy way to introduce people to digital logic design using a cheap development board, it can be programmed using one of the most used Hardware Description Languages like VHDL or Verilog.

So... you may be asking... why to use a CPLD breakout board instead of a more powerful FPGA development board?

1- CPLDs are actually cheaper than FPGA
2- CPLDs dot not need to be reprogrammed on every switch ON as they store the configuration inside it's internal flash memory.
3- CPLDs do not need external devices to work (smaller PCB size).
4- CPLDs, the cheapest way to introduce yourself into your first VHDL or Verilog design.

    Stencils have finally arrived and here we have a picture after unboxing.

    OSH Stencils

    This is the result after applying some solder paste to the boards using the received stencil and the solder paste spreader.

  • Stencils ordered

    Miguel • 09/10/2015 at 12:11 • 0 comments

    Stencils have been ordered to https://www.oshstencils.com/ we are waiting for them to arrive and start reflowing the pcb boards.
