EaZyBoss

It consists of two parts. First, it teaches the basics of hardware circuit design using HDL languages and the FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) included in the ZyBo platform.

In addition, it enables the teaching of low-level software using the embedded processor subsystem based on a multi-core ARM Cortex-A9.

This combination makes this platform an ideal tool for teaching basic concepts, while also meeting the needs of projects based on those concepts, such as operating systems, image processing, and more.
