Bring back Protoshield for the chipKIT Uno32?

[boris_skier]

It appears that many of the popular Xilinx FPGA boards by Digilent have standardized on the chipKIT Uno32 pin layout which comes from the Digilent chipKIT Uno32, including all of the Arty variants and Cora Z7. The Protoshield for the chikpKIT Uno32 would have been a great addon for building one-off designs using the Arty or Cora, but unfortunately it has been discontinued. Any chance for bringing it back or coming our with a Protoshield for the Arty / Cora?

Hi @boris_skier,

It's unlikely to return since Digilent wasn't the manufacturer of this particular product (it was NKCelectronics), but it appears their website is no longer readily available.

I will mention that there is interest in creating such a product, though to be honest for one-off projects it would probably be more effective for users to create own shield in exactly the way they desire based off of the dimensions taken from the 3D model of the Arty A7, https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/arty-a7/start#additional_resources.

Thanks,
JColvin
