Product Description

The Basys 3 is one of the best boards on the market for getting started with FPGA. It is an entry-level development board built around a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA.

As a complete and ready-to use digital circuit development platform, it includes enough switches, LEDs, and other I/O devices to allow a large number of designs to be completed without the need for any additional hardware. There are also enough uncommitted FPGA I/O pins to allow designs to be expanded using Digilent Pmods or other custom boards and circuits.

The Basys 3 is designed exclusively for Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite, and the WebPACK edition is available as a free download from Xilinx.

Guides and demos are available to help users get started quickly with the Basys 3. These can be found through Digilent's Resource Center.

I was looking for a xilinx based board to do some testing with and bought this one. It's smaller than I thought, but is high quality. The manual from digilant is great and the info on what pins the peripherals are connected to is readily available. Overall a really good board to get to learn FPGA .

I've been out of college for a good while now and haven't worked with FPGAs since. I'm looking to change the direction of my career which may involve current knowledge of FPGAs so I purchased this board to refamiliarise myself.

Being a professional software engineer for 3 decades, having experience with CPLD design in the 90s, I recently revived my interested in building circuit boards, soldering, and updating my hardware knowledge. Just for fun.I found digital design with Verilog and VHDL a steep learning curve. Hardware is inherently parallel, and understanding the application of VHDL for FPGA design is different from traditional programming languages, even though the syntax may look similar.This board has all the features I require to get me started on the practical tutorials. Simple to use, well documented, lots of I/O on board and the 7 segment display for more advanced output - all help to get an exampled design up an going. The Artix-7 is quite capable compared to other boards using Spartan 3s. The only negatives are:1) the VGA output instead of a modern digital graphics output port. Getting the output to work with any modern LCD display required buying and testing quite a few VGA to HDMI converter cables to provide a decent display.2) lack of general RAM for use by soft microprocessor cores (e.g the MicroBalze or RISC-V)For more practical designs I will use the Sparkfun Alchitry Au boards or the Diligent Arty Z7 (which is on a $100 off sale right now).However, paired with VHDL BY EXAMPLE by Blaine Readler I am having a lot of fun.

I already had the Xilinx software installed and I was doing the first project within half an hour. Would have liked more I/O and maybe I should've got the next higher-up board as I have some FPGA background but still this is a very capable device and board. I'm looking forward to get it talking to my Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards!

The package came with just the board. It did not include a cable or anything else as I anticipated.
