FPGA Central

Hi all

My name is Eliahu from Israel .

After some years in the software field I want to
come back again to the harware era .

I want to start again doing FPGA designs .
I feel that XILINX "speaks" to me .

My question is : What low cost deseign kit might be right for
a "comeback" to the fpga filed ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance
EC

Hi Eliahu,

Just do a google search. You will find tons of matches.
I bought one from:

http://www.digilentinc.com/

I am pretty happy with it.

Thanks Zak !!

Which specific module do you use in you day to day work ?

Hi Eliahu,
I recommend you to contact either MEMEC or IES in Iarael these two
companies represent Xlinx in Israel.

I recently worked with the SPARTAN3 - 3SxLC Board (a MEMEC board) I'm
sure that such a board will be sufficient for a start and it is not
expensive too (about 200 $).

Regards, Moti.

I just bought a Spartan-3 Starter Kit along with the CoolRunner Design
Kit for $100US. Go to the Xilinx web site and look under Dev boards.
Pretty good deal.

What is available in india?

Ankur,

I assume that you would be able to order one from the Xilinx Online store.
I don't know if the procedure is different if one is overseas, never had the
opportunity. You said you would like to try out some design. Is it OK to
ask if you are an engineer or hobbiest, and what kind of work you do? I've
heard people ask what it is like to work in San Jose, California USA, but I
never heard of anyone saying what it is like to work in India.

Hi

I work for a EDA company, working on FPGA synthesis tool.

Two fpga tool lead in market.
One is our company( to keep company name out), and other is from
synplicity.

An under-grad approached me for help in getting his design into an
FPGA, and verify it.

So I thought it would be a good exercise for me to do some pure design
stuff and verify it.

As for work, I am satisfied out here, for I get to do the best stuff in
EDA, and given the opportunity and salary out here, it was a wise
decision to move back to India.

mail me at gmail.com@akuchlous, if u have any more questions.
(reverse the email id).

As I am looking for a job and also thinking about moving to Asia, I'm
interested by your own experience.

Which country are you from?? Do you think it is easy for european (french
exactely) to move to India (because it seems to be here there is the most
part of R&D center in EDA)? Even more for young graduate because over there
all companies wanted 2 year experienced engineers not less not more. And
jobs in france look more and more making specifications & documentations
than doing hardware developpement.

Regards,
Alexis
