Photos

Note:Core3S500E provides JTAG debugging interface, yet does NOT integrate any debugging function, a debugger is required.Mother board and programmer/debugger in the photos are NOT included in the price.

Debugging/Programming Interface

The Core3S500E FPGA core board integrates JTAG interface for programming/debugging.
