EIM technology has come up with STEP-MXO2 FPGA development board, a compact, breadboard-friendly, and easy-to-learn hardware design platform built around the Lattice MachXO2 FPGA. It is targeted mainly for educational purposes. Hence, it offers several features that allow users to implement a wide range of designed circuits, from simple circuits to various creative applications.
STEP-MXO2 FPGA is a compact 40-pin DIP FPGA development board. The board is both robust and portable, and it needs a power supply of 5V DC input through a Micro-USB connector. The hardware features an onboard JTAG Programmer, clock source, 7-Segment Displays, LEDs, GPIOs, and much more. Because of these components, it is a formidable platform for designing digital logic circuits and Micro32 embedded soft-core processors using Lattice Diamond software. Hence, STEP-MXO2 becomes the ideal option for learning FPGA, evaluating, and prototyping the true potential of the MXO2 FPGA by using all of these features.
