Abstract :
Digital design courses need evaluation boards to mount FPGAs or microcontrollers and the appropriate support circuitry. These boards can be costly to purchase and maintain. Harvey Mudd College has developed a series of inexpensive evaluation boards for an embedded systems laboratory class that are assembled and maintained by the students in the class.
