SYSTEM
The Due Pro Logic is a complete FPGA
Development System designed to easily
get the user started learning and
creating projects.
| The Due Pro Logic makes programmable logic easy with an all inclusive development platform. It includes an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA, on board programming, four megabit configuration flash, and an SD connector for add on memory. You can create your HDL code, program it into the flash and interact with the hardware via a Windows PC. |
| This is the FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) development board and runtime environment you have been waiting for to get started with programmable logic. |
Due Pro Logic FPGA Development System
| The Due Pro Logic (DPL) and its integrated development and distinctive runtime environment has been specifically designed for Electrical Engineering students, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs prototyping/developing/running projects involving logic, with the added opportunity, should it be needed for your project, of readily mating with a widely used microprocessor board, the Arduino Due, and other ARM Cortex compatibles. The combination of FPGA programmable logic and microcontroller is unbeatable in an educational student learning setting and in many other projects where each can bring its strength. |
The DPL gives learners the opportunity to have an appropriate hands-on
approach when learning logic, exploring different iterations of schematic/code
designs with simple uploads of the design, and the operation of those circuits
with relatively easy runtime passing of project parameters and data, and an
abundance of headers that can interface to external components, without
having to spend inordinate amounts of time reading datasheets, designing the
right combinations of gates on multi-gate chips, and
building/revising/debugging/revising repeatedly… spaghetti bowls of wires and
chips on multiple breadboards to connect to those same external components.
With the DPL’s FPGA, projects can also more easily be attempted which rely on
asynchronous, exceedingly fast, and even multiple separate concurrent logic
structures operating in parallel which would have traditionally required a
plethora of chip gates or multiple high speed microprocessors to implement
parallel processes. Logic circuits are implemented within the FPGA at few-
nanosecond gate speeds and highly parallel in operation, effectively a few
hundred MHz; Microprocessors often rely on inherently slower single threaded
program loops with interrupt servicing, which is typically much slower.
Programmable logic is today’s technology for logic learners and implementers,
replacing discrete logic chips.

| The DPL allows the learner to be more productive and better focus on the underlying logic and integration with the non-logic aspects of non-trivial projects. Projects and solving real-world applications might involve: |
