I'd like to make a data acquisition system with huge memory depth, as mainly an academic exercise. Something like 12-bit 100 MSamples/sec with at least 256Mbit of storage (arbitrarily large would be nice). However, my only experience with FPGA's has been an introductory university class. Would I be crazy in trying to do this? I feel like the only barrier is money (assume I have infinite time . I know that FPGA software packages can be pretty expensive, so I doubt there are inexpensive ones that will let me synthesize a DDR SDRAM controller. And I doubt there's a cheap implementation of one available too. And, any FPGA's that are powerful enough to handle a controller would probably be insanely expensive, right? Is it possible to run it on an FPGA under $100 or is this going to be a pipe dream?
I think it could be useful to others as a generic high memory depth FPGA data acquisition system, if well documented.

Seems like it's very feasible and not too expensive. Got one of these dev boards to play around with for the time being:
