1300 Henley Court Pullman, WA 99163 509.334.6306 www.digilentinc.com Arty FPGA Board Reference Manual Revised June 7, 2017 This manual applies to the Arty Rev. C Overview 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, Arty 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, Arty isnt bound to a single set of processing peripherals: One moment its a powerhouse chock-full of UARTS, SPIs, IICs, and an Ethernet MAC, and the next its a meticulous timekeeper with a dozen 32-bit timers. Xilinx Artix-35T FPGA (xc7a35ticsg324-1L) o 33,280 logic cells in 5200 slices (each slice contains four 6-input LUTs and 8 flip-flops) o 1,800 Kbits of fast block RAM o Five clock management tiles, each with a phase- locked loop (PLL) o 90 DSP slices o Internal clock speeds exceeding 450MHz o On-chip analog-to-digital converter (XADC). o Programmable over JTAG and Quad-SPI Flash System Features o 256MB DDR3L with a 16-bit bus 667MHz o 16MB Quad-SPI Flash o USB-JTAG Programming circuitry o Powered from USB or any 7V-15V source System Connectivity o 10/100 Mbps Ethernet o USB-UART Bridge Interaction and Sensory Devices o 4 Switches The Arty board. o 4 Buttons o 1 Reset Button o 4 LEDs o 4 RGB LEDs Expansion Connectors o 4 Pmod connectors o Arduino/chipKIT Shield connector Copyright Digilent, Inc.
