Hi Everyone,
I want to return to the FPGA world. In the past I only used Xilinx FPGAs and I remeber their devolpment tools (ISE webpack) was heavy and buggy. I also was looking at prices in Digikey and their products seem to be much more expensive than those of Lattice or Intel for similar specs.
Im planning to start with a development board (not make my pcb yet). What I want to do is a high speed USB link from an ADC to a PC, no data processing. I will only change the format of the ADC output to something of my need and add some framing markers once in a while. I dont want to use a microcontroller partly because I want to get into FPGA and partly because in the future I can achieve much higher speeds with FPGA.
I have some questions:
-Which development board would you start with (cheap if possible)? I may not use that same board for the application but just to get used to the developments tools and the documentation
-Which company offers the best (in your opinio) development tools? and documentation? Xilinx? Lattice? Intel? Atmel?
Thank you!
