To develop innovative projects using Digilent products. These can be:
- Digital design projects featuring Digilent's FPGA boards, developed in environments such as Xilinx ISE WebPack or ISE Foundation, etc.
- Microcontroller projects featuring Digilent's PIC-based embedded control boards, developed in environments such as Microchip MPLAB, MPIDE, etc.
- Custom ARM-based SoC design and application development projects using the dual-core ARM Cortex-A9-based ZedBoard Zynq-7000 Development Board, developed in environments such as Xilinx ISE Embedded Edition tools.
This contest is open to all university students and will be held in a number of regions around the world. See below for the regional contest nearest you!
(Check back often as new regional contests will be announced in the following weeks.)
Digilent and ARM will be awarding generous prizes to the top finishers. Also, some participants will be awarded the Digilent hardware they used for their project as a prize.
The following are two well-received design contest seminars given by Digilent's own technical writer, Tom Isenberg. Past contestants have found these to be
very helpful in the preparation of their presentations and written reports:
"Guidelines for Reports and Presentations": DOWNLOAD (ASF)
"Business Communications: Advice for New Engineers": DOWNLOAD (ASF)
