I'm presently supervising a couple of overseas engineering students whilst they do their industrial training. They need 12 weeks of practical experience so they can obtain their degrees.

?

They are both very interested in FPGA development work and whilst we have? develpment systems in the lab I can't hand them over to the students for this period of time.

I came across this low cost FPGA development board

?

?

With Ethernet, USB2, I2C, VGA etc and free development tools this looks like a very inexpensive way to get into FPGA development. I see that the FPGA code can be down loaded from the PC via USB2 and then the PC can communicate with the FPGA at 35MBytes/s.?

?

I'm going to look at using this board to interface a high speed A/D converter for the SoftRock and SDR1000.
