iNCITE

What is iNCITE

iNCITE is an FPGA board that connects to the host computer through high-speed USB. iNCITE is targeted for the development of small and medium digital logic with various memories and peripherals as a general purpose FPGA development platform. There are three versions of iNCITE according to FPGA size, which are iNCITE-5000, iNCITE-2000 and iNCITE-1000.

iNCITE-5000 iNCITE-2000/1000

What can do with iNCITE

  • Rapid prototyping: iNCITE can be used as a generic FPGA board.
  • FPGA-based co-emulation: iNCITE provides a unique feature of HW-SW co-running through USB, where user design resides in the FPGA and testing program runs in the host computer.

Integrated development environment

iNCITE has its own integrated development environment, iNSPIRE which guides user to deal with his/her design. For more information, please visit here.

Application boards

  • There are optional companion boards which provide application specific peripherals. iNCITE-AVREM board (optional) can be used along with iNCITE, where Audio, Video, RS-232C, and Ethernet are incorporated. For more information please visit here.
  • iNCITE-WAPP board (optional) can be used along with iNCITE, where short range wireless communication interfaces are supported including IrDA, Ultrasonic, Zigbee, Bluetooth and so on. For more information please visit here.
  • Customized board is also available on request.

Processor-embedded system supporting

iNCITE and its companion board can be a best tool-kit for processor embedded system.
