How to go about selecting a platform for this sort of work?
Are there any references available?

Any help is welcome.

Thanks.

Try this link http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/users/adrianth/EHW_groups.html

http://www.genobyte.com/ "CAM-Brain Machine" is a essencial must to study

And do a google search for "evolvable hardware"

This is my main interest area!

Have you worked on this topic?

What FPGA is recommended?

Thanks for your early reply.

Yes, is one of my research area.

I prefer Xilinx VirtexII*, but also i use Altera Stratix (due to TriMatrix memory).

*Selection of Xilinx is 50% due to hardware and 50% due to tools.

Because we are speaking of "evolvable hardware" you can not use traditional "static" VHDL->FPGA compilers because you need to change hardware behavior "on the fly" conducted by genetic algorithms or similar, and you need a special tool.

I use my own adaptation of Streams-C FGA Compiler (designed for Xilinx devices) as "evolvable generator", this is the main reason i prefer Xilinx

What is your main interest/application?
