The DueProLogic is a complete FPGA
Development System designed to easily
get the user started learning and
creating projects.

|
|
| The DueProLogic makes programmable logic easy with an all inclusive development platform. It includes an Intel/Altera Cyclone IV FPGA, on board programming, four megabit configuration flash, and an SD connector for add on memory. You can create your HDL code, program it into the flash and interact with the hardware via a Windows PC. |
| This is the FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) development board and runtime environment you have been waiting for to get started with programmable logic. |
DueProLogic FPGA Development System
| The DueProLogic (DPL) and its integrated development and distinctive runtime environment has been specifically designed for Electrical Engineering students, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs prototyping/developing/running projects involving logic, with the added opportunity, should it be needed for your project, of readily mating with a widely used microprocessor board, the Arduino Due, and other ARM Cortex compatibles. The combination of FPGA programmable logic and microcontroller is unbeatable in an educational student learning setting and in many other projects where each can bring its strength. |
FPGA Training
| The DPL gives learners the opportunity to have an appropriate hands-on approach when learning logic, exploring different iterations of schematic/code designs with simple uploads of the design, and the operation of those circuits with relatively easy runtime passing of project parameters and data, and an abundance of headers that can interface to external components, without having to spend inordinate amounts of time reading datasheets, designing the right combinations of gates on multi-gate chips, and building/revising/debugging/revising repeatedly… spaghetti bowls of wires and chips on multiple breadboards to connect to those same external components. With the DPL’s FPGA, projects can also more easily be attempted which rely on asynchronous, exceedingly fast, and even multiple separate concurrent logic structures operating in parallel which would have traditionally required a plethora of chip gates or multiple high speed microprocessors to implement parallel processes. Logic circuits are implemented within the FPGA at few- nanosecond gate speeds and highly parallel in operation, effectively a few hundred MHz; Microprocessors often rely on inherently slower single threaded program loops with interrupt servicing, which is typically much slower. Programmable logic is today’s technology for logic learners and implementers, replacing discrete logic chips. |
FPGA Projects
| The DPL allows the learner to be more productive and better focus on the underlying logic and integration with the non-logic aspects of non-trivial projects. Projects and solving real-world applications might involve: |
|
DueProLogic Overview
| The DPL is a complete FPGA development environment. It includes a powerful Intel/Altera Cyclone IV FPGA, High-Speed USB interface chip, Full SD Card interface connector, and 4Mb Configuration Flash (for the FPGA). The USB interface chip is an FT2232H with Dual Serial Channels. One channel is dedicated to loading the configuration Flash for the FPGA. The second channel provides a high speed interface for bi-directional communications with the FPGA. Once the configuration Flash is loaded with the users synthesized code, a reset will cause the FPGA to read the Flash and load up the stored image into the FPGA. |
| The block diagram shows all of the parts of the DueProLogic. There are two main power supplies, +1.2V and +3.3V. The +1.2V powers the core of the FPGA while the +3.3V powers the Input/Outputs of the FPGA as well as provides power for user circuits. The DPL contains two oscillators, 66MHz and 100MHz. The 66MHz oscillator is used to provide clocking for the EPT ActiveHost USB communications core. The 100MHz oscillator can be used by the user clocked up using one of the onboard Clock-DLL modules. |
6×6 LED Array
Development Environment
| The DueProLogic includes a 6×6 Green LED array. Each LED is sinked to an individual pin on the FPGA. Each LED is current limited to 6mA. The total current consumed for all 36 LEDs is 216mAs. The FPGA can easily sink this current. So, individually sinking all 36 LEDs makes easy control for User Code. The DueProLogic also contains a method to turn on/off the LEDs in four unit blocks. A jumper is used to control the state of each LED block. |
DueProLogic Block Diagram
Development Environment
| The DPL User Manual comes complete with instructions to set up all the drivers, the Intel/Altera Quartus development environment, and get started creating FPGA projects. The User Manual walks the user step by step from start to finish of the first FPGA project. |
| The included Windows development environment kit includes: Quartus Prime Lite for compiling user code, assigning pins, project setup, programming and other items. The kit also includes the EPT ActiveHost core for the DPL, to facilitate communication between the PC and DPL while the DPL is running a developed project. The kit also EPT has developed a .dll that allows Quartus Prime Lite to directly program the DPL in the same way USB-Blaster works with other Intel/Altera populated development boards. |
|
Configuring the FPGA
| The FPGA on the DPL can be programmed with the HDL project created by the user. Configuration is quick and easy. All that is required is a standard USB cable with a Micro Type B connector, and the EPT Blaster Driver DLL installed on the PC. There are no extra parts to buy – just plug in the USB cable and connect the DueProLogic to the PC. |
| The DPL Configuration Flash is programmed using the Quartus development environment and the EPT Blaster Driver. Once the the Configuration Flash is programmed. A reset will cause the FPGA to begin configuring itself using the Flash. |
| The board comes preloaded with Blinky, the test that each board goes through before being shipped with conductive foam in a static-control bag. Also included with the product is a DVD with the needed PC/Quartus/DPL drivers, library, User Manual, Schematics, and sample projects, which are also available on the EPT web site. To save expense and possibly the environment, and because many purchasers already have a micro-USB data cable, one is not included. |
| Specifications: Designed to be stand-alone and/or be mated with an Arduino Due. Designed to be inserted directly into a standard breadboard, for easier prototyping Designed with the Arduino Due shield header layout, to accommodate 3.3v-compatible Arduino-type shields, plug-in modules EPT offers, or modules you might develop using standard 0.1” pitch single or double row pin headers. Designed and assembled in the USA and made to be RoHS (no Lead) compliant around the world. The DPL is made to accept standard USB Micro B cable connection and power input of 5-15VDC, but the header logic pins are only 3.3V compatible, like most other high-speed products using today’s chips. Applying 5V to a pin connected to the FPGA chip will cause permanent damage to the FPGA chip. |

Why the MaxProLogic?
| The MaxProLogic is designed to make digital design easy and cost effective. At Earth People Technology we have years of experience helping students and hobbyists get started with FPGA design. We know that the learning curve in getting started can be a time consuming and frustrating event. So, we created a User Manual that walks the user from unpacking to creating the first project to creating an epic project that will get attention. The Learning Curve with any new piece of hardware is always time consuming. |
|
| In short, the MaxProLogic will cut the time to get the time to get up and running significantly. We also include several pre-made, fully compiled, fully synthesized projects for the user. You can start your project by copying one of these premade projects and adding user code. |
THE MAXPROLOGIC AND SIMULATION
| Simulation has always been a weak point for students and hobbyists. Most FPGA beginners write the user code, compile it, synthesize it, program the chip then test out the results. While this approach may work for small, simple designs, it quickly becomes a problem with larger projects. As the user code increases in complexity, better development tools are required to quickly isolate problems. The premier method for this is functional testing. ModelSim is included Free with the Quartus Prime Package. ModelSim is a powerful tool for finding errors in the user code before you go to synthesis. Earth People Technology has created a guide that walks the user through |
|
PROGRAMMING TOOLS FOR THE MAXPROLOGIC
| The MaxProLogic leverages the Quartus Prime Lite Software for compilation and synethsis. This software tool is completely free and provides very powerful tools for the user. Also included free in the software tools is the simulation tool, ModelSim. A lot beginners to the FPGA world are hesitant about using simulation tools. They feel these tools are too difficult to learn and use. This is where the MaxProLogic breaks that fear. The MaxProLogic comes with a user guide that walks the user from start up to full simulation. Each step is well documented and explained. |
THE MAXPROLOGIC HARDWARE
| The MaxProLogic is Open Source Hardware based on the MAX10 FPGA. In addition to the on chip 8 Channel ADC and on chip Flash, the board is loaded with great tools.

The UnoProLyzer Application
| The UnoProLyzer is an Open Source Oscilloscope Application created by Earth People Technology. This application runs on a Windows PC. It sends commands to and receives the data from the UnoProLogic and stores each channel data in its own separate buffer in memory. The UnoProLyzer collects all samples from each channel by streaming across up to four dedicated communication “pipes”. The traditional USB oscilloscope performs all of its functions down at the hardware level. This includes |
|
| These scopes will then send the selected data to be displayed on a laptop. Effectively using the laptop as a dumb terminal. However, the modern laptop is extremely powerful with multi-core processors and multi-threaded operating systems. So, why not take advantage of the processing power on the laptop. This is what the UnoProLogic and UnoProLyzer do so well. The UnoProLogic commands the ADC to start a conversion on the channels selected by the user. It then waits for the ADC to complete the conversion on all channels. It transfers the data for each channel across its own dedicated communication pipe. Then starts the process over again. The UnoProLyzer application will accept each data word and decode the pipe number it came across. It stores each word into a separate buffer for each channel. The UnoProLyzer then performs post processing on each data word. It performs trigger detection, smoothing, sorting, scaling and searching. It then displays the data set in 500 data point segments. |

Odin-Link BLE Board
| The Odin-Link BLE board comes pre-programmed with all the profiles required for the JoyStick app to run on an Android phone. No programming is needed for the board. The use of a third party phone app provider to produce a custom app requires programming of the BLE profiles into the BLE chip. This forces the users into writing code, debugging code and programming the BLE chip. The Odin-Link BLE Board development kit eliminates this extra work. It’s virtually plug and play. |
 |
| The Odin-Link BLE board includes a v4.2 BLE chip along with a 2.4GHz antenna and matching network. Texas Instruments provides the CC2640 BLE chip. EPT provided the antenna tuning for maximum RF range. The Odin-Link BLE board plugs directly into the J5 connector of the MaxProLogic. All power and communication happen through through this connector. It communicates with the FPGA over a UART serial link. EPT has created a proprietary Verilog interface that runs in the FPGA and allows full bidirectional communication with the Android phone, via the CC2640 v4.2 chip. |
MaxProLogic FPGA Board
|
The MaxProLogic is an FPGA board with the Intel/Altera MAX10 at its heart. The MaxProLogic is an integral piece of the Odin-Link BLE Plus MaxProLogic development kit. It is a standalone FPGA board that is powered by an external source. The onboard switching power supply provides a stable power source for the Odin-Link BLE board. It has a 50MHz ultra low jitter oscillator to provide an array of different clock sources in the FPGA. The Odin-Link BLE plugs directly into the J5 socket of the MaxProLogic. The serial UART signals are connected directly from the CC2640 to the pins on the MAX10 FPGA. |
 |
| The JoyStick Android App takes inputs from the user and generates BLE packets. These BLE packets are transmitted from the Android phone and received by the Odin-Link BLE board. The Odin-Link BLE board decodes the packets and produces ASCII generated commands that are transmitted over the serial UART signals to the MAX10 FPGA. |
 |
| EPT has created a Verilog library that runs in the MAX10 FPGA to convert the serial ASCII commands into usable signals. The user will interface their code to the library using an easy SDK from EPT. This makes creating advanced projects quick and easy. Just include the library when synthesizing the FPGA project. |
 |
| The Verilog library will parse out each command and send it to the appropriate block interface. There are three block interfaces, buttons, switches and text. There is a demo BLE LED Blinky project included in the DVD. This project allows the user to individually turn on and off the LEDs of the MaxProLogic board. The demo will also allow the user to blink the LEDs in a Blinky Show. The demo project has all the source code, fully compiled project, programming files, and full simulation. |

The EPT-4901-DA-S1 is an easy to use
DAC Board. It includes
an eight bit DAC and convinient
Bread Board connections
Purchase at these webstores:
|
|
|
| This DAC board features the MCP4091 Eight bit Digital to Analog chip. It is designed to fit into a bread board and connect to any Arduino board. The chip operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply with an SPI compatible Serial Peripheral Interface. So, it can accommodate the +3.3V and +5V Arduinos such as the Mini, Mini Pro, Nano. |
Hardware Features:
|
| The EPT-4901-DA-S1 contains a MCP4091 DAC chip. The board can be used to generate any analog voltage from ground to VREF. VREF is determined by a voltage divider using a potentiometer. The potentiometer allows VREF to vary from zero volts to VCC. VCC is determined by the voltage used to power the EPT-4901-DA-S1. The DAC will accept any input digital value from zero to 255 and convert this value to analog. However, VREF determines the step size of each digital value. |
Digital to Analog Converter
| The MCP4901 is a single channel 8-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). The devices operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply with an SPI compatible Serial Peripheral Interface. The user can configure the full-scale range of the device to be VREF or 2*VREF by setting the gain selection option bit (gain of 1 of 2). The device be can shut down by setting the Configuration Register bit. In Shutdown mode, most of the internal circuits are turned off for power savings, and the output amplifier is configured to present a known high resistance output load (500 kΩ typical). The device include double-buffered registers, allowing synchronous updates of the DAC output using the LDAC pin. These devices also incorporate a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit to ensure reliable powerup. The device utilizes a resistive string architecture, with its inherent advantages of low Differential Non-Linearity (DNL) error and fast settling time. This device is specified over the extended temperature range (+125°C). |
VREF Potentiometer
| The EPT-4901-DA-S1 board includes a 20K potentiometer. This pot forms a voltage divider with a second resistor to vary the voltage applied to VREF. This varied voltage provides an amplitude control for the Analog Out voltage. |
| By varying the VREF, the accuracy of the DAC can be improved. This is because the analog output step size between each DAC digital word is reduced. For example, if the VREF is set to 5V, the analog output step size is 5V/256 (Digital Steps) = 0.0195V per step. If the VREF is set to 2.5V, the analog output step size is 2.5V/256 (Digital Steps) = 0.00976V per step. The smaller the analog step size (or quanta), the more accurate the analog signal can be. |

MPU-6050 Breakout Board
TRIPLE AXIS ACCELEROMETER AND GYRO BREAKOUT BOARD
| This breakout board allows you to use your MPU6050 Accelerometer/Gyroscope sensors with any MCU including the Arduino platform. It is compatible with the +5V Arduino’s and can also connect to +3.3V boards. Just wire the EPT-M6050-BD-S8 into the Arduino and load the code. The I²C Bus is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work. |
6-axis MotionProcessing™ solution
|
The MPU-6000™ family provides the world’s first integrated 6-axis MotionProcessing™ solution that eliminates the package-level gyro/accel cross-axis misalignment associated with discrete solutions. The devices combine a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die together with an onboard Digital Motion Processor™ capable of processing complex 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms. The parts’ integrated 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms access external magnetometers or other sensors through an auxiliary master I2C bus, allowing the devices to gather a full set of sensor data without intervention from the system processor. The devices are offered in the same 4x4x0.9 mm QFN footprint and pinout as the current MPU-3000™ family of integrated 3-axis gyroscopes, providing a simple upgrade path and making it easy to fit on space constrained boards. |
Hardware Features:

Easily Code up the Accel/Gyro
| Coding the Arduino to measure movement using the MPU-6050 is made quite easy using the “Wire” library. All functions required to communicate with the sensor are included in the library. This board can be set up and displaying movement in only a few minutes. See the MPU-6050 Gyro and Accelerometer Sensor Breakout Board Project DVD below for an Arduino sketch that is complete and ready to take measurements. |

Description
| The LED RGB Breakout Board consists of four Lumex SML-LX0404SIUP LED chips. The SML-LX0404 chip is a current sink and can be connected to any MCU. The anode should be connected to +3.3V. The reason for this is the Series resistors are calculated for current limiting based on +3.3V. Changing the anode voltage to another source will change the brightness emitting from each LED. Because the SML-LX0404 chips are current sink, the user can connect to either +5V or +3.3V Arduino (or other MCUs) and control each LED. |

Earth People provides sample software so the user can use the Arduino functions
to control the LED RGBs. The user can control all aspects of each LEDs on/off time.
Adding pulse width controlled signals to the LEDs
allows a wide variety of colors to be displayed by the LED RGBs.
Easily Control four LED RGBs from an Arduino
| The LED RGB Breakout Board comes with example software that blinks individual LEDs from the External MCU (Such as the Arduino Mini Pro). The user can display multiple colors using each LED RGB. The MCU will provide pulse width modulated control for each LED. Changing the duty cycle of each LED changes the overall color of the LED RGB. |
