Good FPGA developmnet Board - Ben A. Abderazek - Nov 10 1:48:00 2003

Hello helpers,

I need to buy an FPGA to implement a 32-bit RISC-like processor.
I found this board: APEX PCI Development Kit (APEX 20KE) from Altera
(http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/kit-dev_platforms.jsp)

Because I am not familiar with this or other development boards, I want to
know whether this development board is suitable or not.
If possible, please explain what Board ( Device size, memory, ..) should I
buy?

Please note that the Board's price is not impornat for me as long as the
board can be used easily and can support all needed functions for a designer
to download and test the processor.

Thank you for your help,

/Ben A. Abderazek

Hi,

If you planning to do a RISC processor (a register-file).
I would suggest going for a Xilinx FPGA since it have LUTRAM which is
very beneficial for creating a register file.

There are a number of boards which has a Xilinx FPGA.
You can search some of the boards at this link
