DigiKey offers Real Digital field-programmable gate array educational boards

Real Digital manufactures educational products and materials that help the next generation of engineers gain knowledge and experience with the world’s technologies. The company’s AMD field-programmable gate array (FPGA) boards are used in university classrooms for engineering students to learn everything from Boolean logic on basic platforms to running real-time operating systems or Linux in more advanced environments.

Real Digital’s AMD-based FPGA and system on a chip (SoC) educational boards are fully supported in the AMD integrated development environments and include switches, buttons, LEDs and other features needed to master FPGA development. The boards are priced for students and labs for FPGA beginners.

DigiKey, distributor of technical components and automation products, has Real Digital FPGA educational boards available for purchase.

“Adding Real Digital’s educational boards to the DigiKey marketplace is just one way we are proud to support the next generation of engineers,” said Y.C. Wang, global business development director—academics at DigiKey. “Empowering future engineers by nurturing curiosity, encouraging innovative thinking and enhancing skills starts with easy-to-access components and digital solutions we are pleased to offer.”

“Getting our FPGA boards into the hands of students and educators in a timely manner is paramount to our mission at Real Digital,” said Clint Cole, founder and CEO of Real Digital. “DigiKey is an ideal partner to help us deliver exceptional education materials to future engineers.”
