Arty S7: Spartan-7 FPGA Development Board

The Arty family of Digilent FPGA/SoC boards was designed with versatility and flexibility in mind. With universally popular Arduino™ headers and multiple Pmod™ ports, a AMD Arty board will be the most adaptable AMD dev board in your toolbox.
The Arty S7 is an affordable, ready-to-use development platform designed around the AMD Spartan®-7 FPGA family. With the Spartan-7 devices, the Arty Spartan-7 development board offers best-in-class performance-per-watt, along with small form-factor packaging to meet the most stringent requirements. With the MicroBlaze Soft Processor Core from AMD, you can create embedded applications with a variety of peripherals, memory, and interfaces. With its user-friendly design and rich set of features, the Arty S7 makes FPGA development accessible and enjoyable. Whether you're working on educational projects, prototyping, or exploring innovative solutions, this AMD evaluation board is a reliable companion on your journey into the fascinating realm of programmable logic.
The Arty S7 is supported by AMD's Vivado Design Suite, including the free WebPACK version. You can also leverage the Vitis Core Development Kit or AMD Software Development Kit to start developing for the MicroBlaze processor with no prior FPGA experience.
There are two variants of the Arty S7: The Arty S7-25 features the XC7S25-CSGA324, and the Arty S7-50 features the larger XC7S50-CSGA324.
If your application requires transceiver lines on the FPGA, the higher-performance Arty A7, featuring the Artix-7 FPGA, may be a better option. If you are looking for an SoC-based development board, consider the Arty Z7, featuring the Zynq-7000 APSoC.
Guides and demos are available to help you get started quickly with the Arty S7. These can be found through the Support Materials tab.
