當我們談論Arduino時，很少有人將其與FPGA相關聯。坦率地說，由於兩者幾乎沒有共同點，所以它們正好相反。
Arduino-價格便宜，易於學習，易於使用，但無法處理複雜的計算和大型項目。
FPGA-靈活，功能強大，可以輕鬆處理諸如音頻和視頻處理之類的複雜計算，但學習困難且非常昂貴。
如果將兩者結合起來怎麼辦？會不會有一種昂貴，笨重且難以理解的怪物？當然不是，那將是魔術！它將改變遊戲規則，融合了Arduino和FPGA的優勢，並消除了兩者的缺點。我們向您展示Spartan Edge加速器板！
Spartan Edge Accelerator Board是採用Arduino UNO屏蔽形式的Xilinx Spartan FPGA開發板。它可以與Arduino一起用作FPGA屏蔽板和獨立的FPGA開發板。使用板載ESP32芯片，Spartan Edge Accelerator Board還具有2.4GHz WiFi和Bluetooth 4.1。而且，該開發板具有豐富的外圍設備和接口，可玩性極強。例如一個8位ADC，一個6軸加速度計，兩個RGB LED，一個MINI HDMI接口，一個CSI攝像頭接口，兩個Grove接口等。總而言之，它將成為製造商和業餘愛好者的理想FPGA板。
注意：為了促進開發人員的選擇性開發，SEA提供了屏蔽形式和開發形式。板的陣列未焊接。該封裝包含一組屏蔽形的長排引腳和一組單板短排引腳。方便用戶選擇和使用焊接。
現場可編程門陣列
Spartan Edge Accelerator Board基於Xilinx Spartan-7 XC7S15 FPGA構建，這是一種具有成本效益但功能強大的FPGA芯片。當談到Ardunio FPGA時，總是提到第一個推動者Arduino MKR Vidor 4000。與官方的Arduino MKR Vidor 4000相比，Spartan Edge Accelerator Board具有類似的性能，但價格不到其一半！Spartan Edge加速器板可以高達100Mhz的時鐘速度運行，並提供12.8K邏輯單元和360Kb Block RAM。好了，驅動相機或HDMI顯示器只是小菜一碟。除了我們擴展XC7S15的10個用戶可編程I / O引腳外，您還可以將它們配置為PWM，I2C，I2S，UART，SPI等。
ESP32
我們知道您喜歡ESP32，因此我們將其用作無線核心。它支持802.11 b / g / n 2.4GHz WiFi以及具有BLE的Bluetooth 4.1。只需一塊板就可以使您的Arduino具有FPGA和無線功能，這並不令人驚奇嗎？
Arduino FPGA API
最重要的是，即使您對FPGA理論一無所知，我們仍提供完整的Arduino FPGA API，可幫助您使用FPGA資源通過Arduino IDE控制FPGA I / O。Spartan Edge Accelerator Board將為Arduino提供曾經無法想像的功能，例如邊緣技術，圖像識別，信號採樣和處理等。

技術補充（英文原文對照）
以下為原廠英文技術說明，提供使用者參考。
When we talk about Arduino, very few people associate it with FPGAs. Because the two have little in common, to be frank, they are exactly the opposite. Arduino – cheap to buy, easy to learn, simple to use, but can’t deal with complex calculations and large projects.FPGA – flexible and powerful, easily handle complex calculations like audio and video processing, but hard to learn and very expensive.
What if combine the two? Will there be a monster that is expensive, cumbersome and difficult to understand? Of cause not, it will be magic! It will be a game-changer that combines the advantages of Arduino and FPGA and eliminates the shortcomings of both. We present to you the Spartan Edge Accelerator Board!
Spartan Edge Accelerator Board is a Xilinx Spartan FPGA development board in the Arduino UNO shield form factor. It can work with Arduino as an FPGA shield and as a stand-alone FPGA development board. With the onboard ESP32 chip, the Spartan Edge Accelerator Board also features 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1. Moreover, this development board has a wealth of peripherals and interfaces which are extremely playable. Such as an 8-bit ADC, a 6-axis accelerometer, two RGB LEDs, a MINI HDMI interface, a CSI camera interface, two Grove interfaces, etc. All in all, it will be a perfect FPGA board for Makers and Hobbyists.
FPGA
The Spartan Edge Accelerator Board is built around Xilinx Spartan-7 XC7S15 FPGA, which is a cost-effect but powerful FPGA chip. When it comes to Ardunio FPGA, the first mover Arduino MKR Vidor 4000 was always mentioned. Compared with the official Arduino MKR Vidor 4000, the Spartan Edge Accelerator Board has a similar performance, but the price is less than half! Spartan Edge Accelerator Board can run at up to 100Mhz clock speed and offers 12.8K logic cells, 360Kb block RAM. Well, to drive a camera or HDMI display is just a piece of cake. Besides we breakout 10 user-programmable I/O pins of XC7S15, you can configure them as PWM, I2C, I2S, UART, SPI, etc.
ESP32
We know you love ESP32, so we used it as the wireless core. It supports 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz WiFi as well as Bluetooth 4.1 with BLE. Just a single board to enable your Arduino with FPGA and Wireless function, isn’t it amazing?
Arduino FPGA API
On top of that, we provide a full Arduino FPGA API to help you use FPGA resources to control FPGA I/Os with Arduino IDE even if you know nothing about the FPGA theory. Spartan Edge Accelerator Board will equip Arduino with the ability that was once unimaginable, such as edge technology, image recognition, signal sampling and processing, and so on.
