Reference Design
The Mars AX3 FPGA module reference design features an example configuration for the Artix-7 FPGA de-
vice, together with an example top level HDL file for the user logic.
A number of software applications are available for the reference design, that show how to initialize the
peripheral controllers and how to access the external devices. Pre-compiled binaries are included in the
archive, so that the user can easily check that the hardware is functional.
The reference design can be downloaded from Github: https://github.com/enclustra.
