ARM–FPGA Hardware/Software Educational Platform
Sponsor: Ingram School of Engineering (ISoE)
Student Team: Theodore Freij, Aaron Ong, Matthew Carter, Ma Sweeney, Alex Nuez, Miguel Octavo Castro, Farrah Balbuena, Luis Leon Pineda
Faculty Instructor: Mr. Mark Welker
Our team is designing an educational development board tailored for Texas State University’s HDL course to enhance hands-on learning in digital systems. We will implement and simulate IIC, SPI, and PWM interfaces on the CORA Z7 FPGA using Xilinx tools like Vivado and Vitis. The final deliverable will be a functioning prototype that supports both physical and digital simulations. This project aims to improve student retention and real-world readiness by integrating practical hardware experience into the curriculum.
