Purchasing

Anyone is free to build their own copies of Sinara hardware based on schematics and layouts in the repository. We are working with a commercial partner to manufacture and stock the hardware for convenience.

Production boards

You can now buy the following boards fully populated and tested.

• Booster
• VHDCI_carrier
• BNC_DIO
• SMA_DIO
• RJ45_DIO
• Kasli
• Urukul 9910
• Urukul 9912
• Clocker

Buying the bare boards requires procurement, assembly, and testing of hardware (including enclosure and accessories) and willingness to understand, configure, and build ARTIQ (compile FPGA bitstreams and firmware specific to your configuration, flash the boards, maintain configurations, etc.). Those who want a pre-assembled chassis and more than community support should contact sales at m-labs.hk or sales at quartiq.de to get a quote. This will include a completely assembled and tested chassis containing your boards of choice, accessories, programmable components (e.g. Kasli FPGA) pre-flashed and ready to go, and one year of binary gateware/firmware upgrades. Payment by bank transfer, credit card, or bitcoin.
