BED-SPARTAN2 - FPGA Evaluation Board/System
The BurchEd FPGA board
This is a really cool board to play with and use. It has a Xilinx SPARTAN-II FPGA in the center of it and a series of 20 pin connectors around the FPGA. It was designed and produced by Tony Burch over at Burch Electronic Design. In the picture above I've attached five "plug-on" modules, in clockwise order:
- 128K x 16 RAM module (takes two slots)
- CPU-IO (adds serial, mouse, keyboard, and VGA interfaces)
- SWITCH module (16 dip swiches)
- LED-8 (My own 8 digit LED display module)
- BEDLED two digit LED module (RED digits)
The FPGA itself has 200K "marketing" gate equivalents but frankly it is pretty spacious. See my FPGA journey pages for stuff that I've done with this board.
