This project was undertaken
as a joint endeavor between the Albuquerque Xilinx facility, XUP,
and the EECE Department of the University of New Mexico. It was born
based on donations receive as part of the XUP V1000 program. The lead
engineer for the project from the University of New Mexico is Craig
Kief. The design team consists of Allison Tafoya, Joe Eddie Leyba,
Leslie Vonderheide, and Alonzo
Vera. They received technical guidance from Dr. Howard Pollard
(EECE), Jason Moore (Phoenix Xilinx), and Frank Wirtz (Albuquerque
Xilinx). The overall plan used XCV1000BG560 FPGA devices to build
a prototyping platform that would provide other educational institutions
a capability to explore a multitude of possibilities in programmable
logic at a relatively low cost.
