Mimas A7 Mini FPGA Development Board

Mimas A7 Mini is an easy-to-use FPGA Development board featuring AMD Artix 7 FPGA (XC7A35T – FTG256C package) with FTDI’s FT2232H Dual-Channel USB device. It is an AMD Artix-7-based replacement and upgrade of the Mimas Spartan 6 FPGA Board. It is specially designed for the development and integration of FPGA based accelerated features into other designs. The USB 2.0 host interface based on the popular FT2232H offers high bandwidth data transfer and board programming without the need for any external programming adapters.
