====== Gecko4Education ======
The GECKO4-Education platform has been developed as a low-cost small platform to serve as an enabler for our students to get hands-on experience with real hardware. The platform will be used for the practical works of their first two years of their bachelor studies.

The GECKO4-Education board can be used with the [[http://dl.altera.com/?edition=web|Quartus II Web Edition]] and with [[https://github.com/reds-heig/logisim-evolution|logisim-evolution]]. The heart of the GECKO4-Education board is an Altera Cyclone IV FPGA (EP4CE15F23C8).

{{ :gecko4education:gecko4_education_v3.3.1_schematic.pdf |Here}} you find the complete schematic of the GECKO4-Education board, and {{ :gecko4education:all.tcl |here}} you find a tcl-script containing all FPGA-connections that can be used with Quartus.
