"XILINX ADDS FPGA SUPPORT TO FREE WEB DESIGN TOOLS" See http://www.xilinx.com/prs_rls/webfpga.html: "Xilinx, Inc. today announced full support of the entire SpartanŽ-II FPGA family as well as the 300,000 system gate Virtex(TM) XCV300E FPGA in the WebPACK ISE(TM) tool suite. ... The next release of WebPACK ISE, V3.2i WP1.0, which contains the added FPGA support of Spartan-II and the Virtex XCV300E device is scheduled for release in mid-October 2000." These tools and parts are more than adequate for all manner of sophisticated processor cores, multiprocessors, DSPs, etc. As the barriers to entry fall away, we're in for some serious innovation, serious products, and some serious fun.
