Starting from 2010, several educational boards have been developed in the Wadhwani lab to assist in teaching courses based on programmable logic devices and microcontrollers. Several workshops have been conducted at IITB as well as other engineering colleges to give the participants hands-on training on using these boards in lab courses and projects. Several engineering colleges have enthusiastically adopted the boards (provided to them free of charge by the Wadhwani lab and sponsored by the Ministry of Human Resource Development through the "Virtual Labs" project) for their lab courses. Some of the colleges have also designed their own daughter boards to go with the development boards.

The following boards have been developed to date.
