Xilinx FPGA Hardware

Design Platform
Different series of FPGA (Spartan,
Artix, Kintex, Vertex and Zynq Family)
Wide of range of application
(Automation, Robotics, Machine
Vision to Image processing etc.)
Tools and Software License (VIVADO ,
ISE and HLS Licenses) are Granted by
XUP which cost thousands of Dollar
on purchasing

Xilinx University Program

Xilinx University Program (XUP) is offered by Xilinx
to encourage educators and students in the field
of FPGAs. It contains numerous training videos
and course content. Registered educators of XUP
get access to teaching materials and lab modules
that help integrate FPGAs into the classroom.
XUP also grants/donates Software Licenses, FPGA
Hardware for Academic Research & Development.
Currently IOE Pulchowk Campus, Sagarmatha

VIVADO is advance tool for professional FPGA

Xilinxs ISE Design Suite combines many ISim,

design is targeted especially for Spartan-6,

iMPACT, Platform Studio, and EDK to meet all

Virtex-6 and 7-series and Ultrascale FPGAs.

needs for designs, its license is free from XUP.
