Welcome to FPGA4U

The original FPGA4U board

FPGA4U is a USB-powered FPGA-based development board. It is small, it is handy, it is as easy to use as one can make it. But especially: it is powerful! Read more about us.

Warning: Please notice that this Wiki is under continuous development. You are encouraged to help improve it!
