The School of Electrical Engineering and Artificial Intelligence (SEEAI) would like to thank Intel Corporation for donating market worth USD 25,605.00 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) development boards to our school. In the donation, SEEAI received 1 set of DE10-Pro-SX FPGA development boards, 25 sets of DE10-Standard FPGA development boards, and 10 sets of DE10-Nano FPGA development boards. The donated FPGA development boards can be used in undergraduate courses such as digital electronics, computer architecture, digital system design, and etc.
FPGA is an acronym for Field Programmable Gate Array. FPGAs are semiconductor ICs where a large majority of the functionality inside the device can be changed; changed by the design engineer, changed during the PCB assembly process, or even changed after a product is deployed. The changes are produced by changing what electrical inputs and outputs are being received, what logical gates and flipflops are implemented, and how those gates are being connected together.
An FPGA is made up of a grid of configurable logic, known as adaptive logic modules (ALMs), and specialized blocks, such as digital signal processing (DSP) blocks and random-access memory (RAM) blocks. These programmable blocks are combined via configurable routing interconnects to implement complete digital circuits.
