Nexys A7
- Programmable over JTAG and Quad-SPI Flash
- On-chip analog-to-digital converter
(XC7A50T-1CSG324I*)
- (*A7-50T variant value in parentheses where different)
One XADC Pmod port
5V (2.5mm coaxial) supply
The Nexys A7-50T variant is now retired in our store. The Nexys A7-100T is not affected and will remain in production.
The Nexys A7 board is a complete, ready-to-use digital circuit development platform based on the latest Artix-7™ Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Xilinx®. With its large, high-capacity FPGA, generous external memories, and collection of USB, Ethernet, and other ports, the Nexys A7 can host designs ranging from introductory combinational circuits to powerful embedded processors. Several built-in peripherals, including an accelerometer, temperature sensor, MEMs digital microphone, a speaker amplifier, and several I/O devices allow the Nexys A7 to be used for a wide range of designs without needing any other components.

- Walks through using Vivado and Vitis to create a design in hardware and software that uses a processor to control buttons and LEDs.
-
- Walks through using Vivado to create a simple design that blinks a single LED.
-
- Digilent Pmod IPs can be used to control connected Pmods from baremetal software.
- It should be noted that not all Pmods are supported and that Pmod IPs are only supported in versions of Vivado 2019.1 and newer.
