The Digilent (Carrier Module) Cmod A7 is a small board that has a 48-pin DIP form factor. It is built around a Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA and includes a USB-JTAG programming circuit, USB-UART bridge, clock source, Pmod host connector, SRAM, Quad SPI Flash, and basic I/O devices. These components make it a powerful platform for digital logic circuits and Microblaze embedded softcore processor designs. The board has 44 Digital FPGA I/O signals and 2 FPGA Analog inputs that are routed to 100-mil-spaced through-hole pins, allowing you to integrate your programmable logic design directly into a solderless breadboard circuit. It measures just .7" by 2.75" inches and can be loaded in a standard socket and used in embedded systems.

The Cmod A7 can be programmed with Digilent's Adept software. Digilent Adept is a unique and powerful solution which allows you to communicate with Digilent system boards and a wide assortment of logic devices. To create and modify designs for your Cmod A7, you can use Xilinx's Vivado Design Suite. If you are using the MicroBlaze Soft Processor Core from Xilinx, you can make use of the Vitis Core Development Kit or Xilinx Software Development Kit to create embedded applications for your Cmod A7.

*Note: Xilinx software tools are not available for download in some countries. Prior to purchasing the Cmod A7, please check the supporting software's availability, as it is required for the board's use.
