A very cool educational project that is worth supporting: if you work with students you may support the project or just…take inspiration!
I’m a professor at Oregon Tech looking to start an open-source hardware lab. I want to teach my students to design and develop open-source hardware that the community can use.
What have we created?
We’ve created the open-source owlBoard, based on the Numato Mimas board. I currently use the owlBoard to teach my students:
- Embedded system design
- Surface mount soldering
- Wire wrapping/ prototyping
- Pin mapping
- Verilog coding
I think of it as a DIY devboard for the Spartan 6.
