Overview
The Mars PM3 p-ITX board is equipped with a multitude of I/O interfaces for use with the Mars family of FPGA modules. The board is equally well suited for rapid prototyping and for building low-quantity FPGA systems without building custom hardware.
The board can also be used for production flashing of Mars modules or for educational purposes.
Build your FPGA system in minutes and start taking advantage of the powerful FPGA technology.
Highlights
- Compatible with Mars family FPGA and SoC modules (except for Mars XU3)
