BeeProLogic CPLD Development Board

The BeeProLogic is a CPLD development board that is designed to be user friendly and a great introduction into digital design for Electrical Engineering students and hobbyists. This board provides a simplified method for debugging programmable logic code. It has been designed with plenty of LEDs and Pushbuttons to allow a large amount of interaction between user and hardware operations.

Hardware Features

The Earth People Technology BeeProLogic CPLD development system hardware consists of a a CPLD, 8Mb Flash and a single channel DAC. The board requires an external JTAG Programmer compatible with the JTAG Blaster. The Core of the board is the MAX V chip. The board can be powered by standard USB Micro B connector. There is a 10MHz oscillator attached to the MAX V chip for clocking user code. The board also includes 10 Green User LEDS, Seven User Pushbuttons and One external connector with six pins for GPIO.

• • 10MHz Oscillator
• • Standard Programming Connector fits any JTAG Blaster

Simplified Development Board

The BeeProLogic DVD provides detailed step by step instructions to quickly guide the user to create a project, synthesize the project and download the programming file into the CPLD. The Quartus Prime Software must be downloaded from Intels website. Once the Quartus software is on your desktop, the guide will show you how to create a project, write you first LED blinky code, compile and program the CPLD.

Programming the BeeProLogic Board

The CPLD on the BeePro can be programmed with the code created by the user. Programming is quick and easy. The BeeProLogic Does Not Include An OnBoard programmer. The user must purchase a separate JTAG Blaster. To program the board, a standard USB Micro-B cable must be connected from power (USB Port on laptop) to the board. Then connect the JTAG Blaster to a USB Port on a laptop. Use the provided adapter to connect the JTAG Blaster 10 pin connector to the 6 pin. 2mm pitch connector. Connect the 6 pin 2mm pitch connector to the BeeProLogic connector on the back of the board.
