Basys3

The Basys3 is an entry-level FPGA board designed exclusively for the Vivado Design Suite, featuring Xilinx Artix 7-FPGA architecture. Basys3 is the newest addition to the popular Basys line of starter FPGA boards. Basys3 includes the standard features found on all Basys boards: complete ready-to-use hardware, a large collection of on-board I/O devices, all required FPGA support circuits, and a free version of development tools… all at a student-level price point.

The Basys3 is currently on its initial release revision, Revision C. The revision of a particular board is indicated on the bottom side of the PCB next to the unique 6 Digit board number that begins with “D”.

• Schematic – PDF
  • PDF Schematic of the PCB generated by Altium
• Reference Manual – Wiki PDF
  • Technical description of the Basys3 and all of its features. The Wiki may contain more up-to-date information than the PDF.
• Getting Started Guide – Wiki
  • Great starting point for new Basys3 owners. Includes the kit contents, instructions for running the out of box demo, and instructions for building a simple design.

• Master XDC – ZIP
  • This package contains the master XDC that defines the pin constraints for every device on the Basys3.

• General I/O Demo – Wiki
  • Basic demo that uses the onboard switches, buttons, leds, 7-segment display, UART, a VGA monitor and a USB-HID mouse. This project is pre-loaded into SPI flash when the board is shipped.
• Abacus Demo – Wiki
  • Implements several arithmetic operations using the switches as inputs and displaying the result on the 7-segment display
