You scolded another user in another thread about this yesterday, but really: Have you tried Google?

--- End quote ---

yes I did.  I googled, I checked for a wiki article and didn't find anything.  I went to their "About Us" page and it didn't tell me anything.  When I searched "Digilent Wiki" I got this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diligent_Corporation?useskin=vector.  Then I tried searching "digilent" corporation headquarters and still couldn't find anything.

Your reply is not helpful, just like the other guy's was similarly useless.

Let me be helpful then and explain how you use Google and web pages in general, in five easy steps.  :-\

* Enter "Digilent" in your browser's search/address bar. Press the return key.
* On the Google search results page that opens, click the very first link, conveniently titled "Digilent".
* Look at the page that opens. It gives you an idea what Digilent does and sells. It also tells you who their parent company is, right there at the top of the page.
* Scroll all the way down. Digilent's address is right there in the lower right, answering your "where are they" question.
* Then look to the left and click the "About Us" link, which takes you to https://digilent.com/shop/company/#about-digilent. It tells you more about what they dom where they are based, how long they have been around.
What else do you need? Sorry, but your questions in these threads are not helpful contributions either, and are just plain lazy.

An US-based company, recently bought by National Instruments, which develop hardware and software with a bias towards educational market.
They have a lot of development boards for FPGAs and such.
In any case, their most well-known (and valued) product is the Analog Discovery, in their third iteration now, which is basically a powerful FPGA with ADCs and DACs interfacing with an excellent (and free) piece of software called Waveforms. You can download it from their page and test it with your PC soundcard. It was designed to interface with breadboards via DuPont crimp connectors, but they have quite a few breakout boards, the most relevant being the BNC-connectors for the oscilloscope and AWG, the add-on for the impedance analyzer, and the audio analyzer board.

If you are interested, check their website and Analog Discovery page/documentation, it's good.

I have seen this before.  The Analog Discovery series is used at the local university, and has cropped up on the used market whenever I've looked for some specific things.  I'll look into their waveforms software, right now I'm playing around with an RTL-SDR that's frankly brilliant.

Yeah this is why I'm pissed off, b/c it's not laziness and of course it contributes to these threads.  This assumption that I haven't actually earnestly researched the question I'm asking is offensive because it is wrong.

I found that aforementioned screenshot of course, but that just tells me where they have offices, which effectively tells me jack shit.  The only wikipedia information on digilent is buried fucking here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Instruments?useskin=vector#2010s

Which doesn't appear in a simple google web search.
