3. FOBOS Control

FOBOS supports two boards for FOBOS Control:

1. Digilent Pynq-Z1

2. TUL Pynq-Z2

The support for the Digilent Basys 3 board has been discontinued as the Pynq boards are not only more powerfull, they also allow faster communication with the SCA workstation.

• Supports oscilloscope

• Supports FOBOS Shield which enables:

  • Standard ChipWhisperer compatible DUT connector

  • DUT clock aligned measurements using built-in OpenADC

  • Power consumption measurements for benchmarking

  • Variable voltage output (0.9V - 3.5V)

  • Crowbar glitching

  • Isolated power supply for linear and differential amplifiers
