Abstract :
The rapid prototyping system created at North Carolina State University consisting of an FPGA-based board called the AnyBoard, was revised to use commercial design entry methods rather than board specific software. The resulting environment is a promising tool for teaching system design at the undergraduate level. This paper presents our experiences to date with this new tool
