USER MANUAL
NI Digital System Development
Board
The Digital System Development Board (DSDB) is an NI ELVIS add-on board featuring a
Zynq 7020 All Programmable SoC (AP SoC) that was designed by Digilent for National
Instruments. When paired with the NI ELVIS platform, it becomes an ideal lab installation for
classes centered on digital and analog circuits. The DSDB also has the ability to be used as a
standalone Zynq development platform, independent of NI ELVIS.
