![]() Its just a hobby, a source of entertainment. I have plenty of experience with assembly programming and programming in general, but im fairly fresh when it comes to electronics and logic chips. ![]() It seems Coolrunners and Spartans are popular, are iCE chips any good? I was looking at the XC2C256 as a viable option but have a feeling I might get more hands on micromanaging done with an FPGA though Spartan-6 is getting a little bit pricey for what I can afford right this moment. I see a bunch of evaluation boards on digikey in my pricerange, but I wouldnt mind some advice on where to go. Problem is that right now Im almost broke, otherwise I think I would go for a bigger FPGA, but as money is a problem it will have to be smaller. An option would be to build it usic logic chips on a breadboard but it might be expensive or time-consuming to get all the needed chips so a generic solution like CPLD/FGPA is preferred. Im interested in starting development on a cpu core, 8/16 bit RISC with DMA-like characteristics and I cant quite figure out which is best to begin with, CPLD or FPGA.
