Glasgow
A versatile open-source tool for interfacing with and debugging digital electronics through a USB-connected FPGA board.
What is Glasgow?
Glasgow is an open-source hardware interface tool that connects to a computer via USB and provides multiple digital I/O protocols for electronics development and debugging. It combines an FPGA-based hardware platform with Python software control to create a versatile 'Swiss Army Knife' for digital electronics work, allowing users to communicate with various devices using protocols like I²C, SPI, UART, and JTAG through a single device.
Electronics engineers, embedded developers, hardware hackers, and hobbyists who need to interface with and debug digital electronics using common protocols without investing in multiple specialized tools.
Developers choose Glasgow because it provides a single, reprogrammable hardware platform that replaces multiple specialized interface tools, offers open-source hardware and software for complete transparency and customization, and enables scripting and automation through its Python-based control interface.
