Ann: A new FPGA beginner's Video guide

Started by Tony Burch March 11, 2008
Hi all,

I have just released a new online Video guide called "The BurchED Getting 
Started with Xilinx FPGAs Video Guide" http://www.BurchED.com

It is an easy step-by-step guide for FPGA beginners. I go all the way 
through from "What is an FPGA?" right up to compiling designs and 
downloading to your FPGA board

There's a Free Membership area where you can watch some videos for free.

* FPGAs for Beginners - the Top 6 Questions answered (including "How is that 
different to a microcontroller?")
* How to choose an FPGA board
* An independent review of available FPGA boards
* What to do when you first get your FPGA board
* How to download and install the free Xilinx design software

There's also an introductory offer on the full video guide, which includes 
18 videos on getting started with Xilinx FPGAs. Some of the benefits are:

* Save time and effort when getting started with FPGAs
* Avoid the big mistakes that often derail first time FPGA users
* Save money - advice to lower your cost when getting an FPGA board
* Expand your design options by putting FPGAs in your toolbox
* Achieve the satisfaction and fun of designing your own FPGA circuits
* Amaze your colleagues with your new FPGA skills
* Gain the skills and confidence needed to go on and make more complex 
designs

I look forward to seeing you over there. Grab the Free membership & have a 
look at the introductory offer on the full video guide

PS. A note for University Lecturers:
University & company site licenses are available. Minimise the amount of 
lecture time that you spend teaching FPGA basics. Let your students do this 
video course at home. Please email me for details about great value site 
licenses.
