SparkFun Single Board Computers ‎DEV-16526 Editorial Review

  • ubuy Uganda
  • ubuy Uganda

The Alchitry Cu FPGA Development Board is a good choice for people who want to try their hand at FPGAs for the first time, without breaking the bank. The board is well-built and versatile, and works well once the user has absorbed the online information to properly operate it. However, a customer received a faulty board and also purchased the Io board which didn't work, returning both of them.
