Let's Try Agilex™ 3 - Basic FPGA functions and usage that you can learn right away

Introduction

FPGAs are often referred to as "magic boxes" that allow users to design their own circuits and define hardware behavior at will. 
For example, you can design and build everything from image processing circuits optimized for maximum parallelism, to communication interfaces supporting proprietary protocols, to the AI inference engine. 
On the other hand, FPGA design requires a great deal of expertise, including a deep understanding of digital circuits, mastery of hardware description language (HDL), management of timing constraints, and familiarity with the tool chain. 
Compared to software development, the design, verification, and debugging processes are complex and time-consuming.

Therefore, we have prepared mini-contents that can be learned quickly in a little spare time.

We have prepared a mini-content that will allow you to learn quickly in a short time, using an example of operation on the "Atum A3 Nano", Terasic's Agilex™ 3 evaluation board. 
Why don't you start with a simple step and experience the "fun" of running FPGAs?

By changing the device model number and pin assignments, the same evaluation can be performed on other evaluation boards or your own board.
