Product Description
LOGi boards offer beginning or experienced field-programmable gate array (FPGA) developers a plug-and-play experience with popular embedded systems including the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black.
FPGA allows a single board/device to morph in functionality to fit the needs of changing environments and application requirements.
Development of FPGA technology has traditionally involved a sharp learning curve but the LOGi ecosystem of hardware, software, drivers and applications helps to mitigate this issue while unifying existing hardware interfaces and platforms.
The LOGi-BONE and LOGI-Pi have been optimised for use with the BeagleBone Black or Raspberry Pi as the base platform. Both versions were designed with key design attributes in mind including ease of use, maximum expansion capability and low cost to performance ratio.
APIs and Wrappers have been written that allow easy access to the FPGA custom hardware peripherals, using the wishbone bus standard. Applications can easily be written using C/C++ or Python. APIs for these languages allow easy to use communication with the FPGA.
A number of applications including a bitcoin miner, machine vision and autonomous vehicle and robotic controllers are available. All applications are open source and available on the LOGi repository. This is built in an "App Store" style that has been developed to allow users to simply download the latest fully built applications for free and run them with no need to delve into building the HDL and source code.
Plug and Play
LOGi ecosystem of hardware, software, drivers and applications for Arduino Compatible and Pmod peripheral modules helps reduce steep FPGA learning curve.
Supported boards
Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black.
