HDMI2USB is a core hardware project in the Tim Videos suite. There are two types of projects to work on with the HDMI2USB system;

• Firmware Projects - As the device uses a Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA, developing much of the hardware is actually a process of developing software!
  More information on current HDMI2USB firmware.

• Extension Boards - The Digilent ATLYS can be extended via the VHDCI connector.
  More information on existing HDMI2USB extension boards

!!! All hardware projects will require you to have a Digilent ATLYS prototype board !!!

If you can show that you are committed to developing hardware (such as being accepted into a program like Google Summer of Code), you can apply for a grant to have a board provided to you for development.
