4. Nysa Boards¶
Practically any FPGA board can support Nysa. The only requirement is a means to communicate with a host. This host can be a desktop computer, an embedded platform or even a microcontroller such as Arduino.
The following boards were designed with Nysa in mind.
4.1. Dionysus¶
A Spartan 6 LX9 attached to a host computer through a USB 2.0 FIFO capable of data throughput of up to 25MBs
Features:
- Spartan 6 LX8
- 8MB SDRAM
- Arduino shield compatible (3.3V Shields only)
- 2 X PMOD Connectors
- 50MHz onboard oscillator
4.2. Nyx¶
A Spartan 6 LX25 attached to an Intel Edison through SDIO with throughput rates of 50MBs.
Features:
Spartan 6 LX25
64MB SDRAM
Arduino shield compatible (3.3V Shields only)
- 8 X PMOD Connectors
- 4 X PMOD with board selectable voltages (1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V)
8 X Differential signals brought out through industry standard SATA connectors
100MHz onboard oscillator
4.3. Artemis¶
A Spartan 6 LX45T designed so the user can create their own host interface using up to 23 differential signals (46 single ended) and a pair of gigabit transceivers openning up PCI Express. One of the most inexpensive ways to use PCI Express or SATA on your next project.
Features:
Spartan 6 LX45T
128MB DDR3
Arduino shield compatible (3.3V Shields only)
2 X PMOD Connectors
- High speed low cost expansion connector. The connector can be soldered by hand or through a reflow oven enabling users to develop boards that can interface with DSI/CSI PCI Express and SATA to name a few.
- 46 X Differential signals
- 2 X Gigabit transceivers
- 2 X Gigabit transceiver clock interfaces
- Board level selectable voltage (1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V)
- High speed low cost host connector. The connector can also be soldered by hand or through a reflow oven enabling users to develop high speed interface with desktop computers, single board computers or even microcontrollers.
- 46 X Differential signals
- 2 X Gigabit transceivers
- 1 X Gigabit transceiver clock interfaces
- Host board level voltage selectable. The host board dictates the voltage on the bank allowing users to interface with the FPGA through 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V signals
100MHz onboard oscillator
100MHz low jitter on board oscillator for gigabit transceiver applications
4.4. Prometheus¶
A higher end FPGA development board with support for standard DDR3 SODIMMs, 4 X SATA hard drives, industry standart HPC FMC and communication with the host computer using USB3.0 enabling data rates of up to 400MBs
Features:

400MBs interface with host computer using a standard USB 3.0
Support for up to 4GB of DDR3 Memory
Support for up to 4 X SATA hard drives or generic gigabit transciever through SATA cables
Arduino shield compatible (3.3V Shields only)
2 X PMOD Connectors
- Industry standard FMC HPC
- 4X Gigabit Transcievers
- 2X Gigabit transceiver clock interfaces
- Board level selectable voltage (1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V)
100MHz onboard oscillator
