The Nexys 4 board is a complete, ready-to-use digital circuit development
platform based on the latest Artix-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
from Xilinx. The Artix-7 FPGA is optimized for high performance logic and
offers more capacity, higher performance, and more resources than earlier
designs. With its large, high-capacity FPGA (Xilinx part number
XC7A100T-1CSG324C), generous external memories, and collection of USB,
Ethernet, and other ports, the Nexys 4 can host designs ranging from
introductory combinational circuits to powerful embedded processors.
Several built-in peripherals, including an accelerometer, temperature
sensor, MEMs digital microphone, speaker amplifier, and several I/O devices
allow the Nexys 4 to be used for a wide range of designs without needing
any other components. The Nexys 4 is compatible with Xilinx's new
high-performance Vivado Design Suite as well as the ISE toolset, which
includes ChipScope and EDK. Xilinx offers free WebPACK versions of these
toolsets, so designs can be implemented for no additional cost.
