Hi all.
I am looking for a low cost devlopment board for Xilinx FPGAs in India. I am planning to buy the 'Spartan 3E Starter Kit' board but not having credit card at the moment. :|
Can I get it from sources other than Avnet or Nu Horizons ? Also does anyone know what extra expenditures/taxes might be incurred or how much the board costs in INR ? My budget is max Rs 12k ($220 approx.).
While looking for a locally made development board, I came across this board by Emblitz: **broken link removed**
Are there other boards available in India like this one?
What kind of applications you wish to try on the development board. You what something in Ruppes then try out with www.mechatronics.com, Pune.

Emblitz board should be ok, but then you will have to develop boards for other peripherals you interface. Nowadays it is difficult to do any wire wrap stuff.
Spartan 100k gates IC is a big enough IC and many things can be done on it.
Featurewise it appears to be on par with the Starter Kit and way ahead of Emblitz. I am awaiting their response before making a decision. Thanks for your help.
As far as I know Avnet doesn't deals in only dollars and not rupees. This can be a problem for an individual developer.
Otherwise no doubt the original boards from Xilinx are of very good quality.
I have not seen good quality from Indian manufacturers.

u can also try nuhorizons.
and they charge 250$ for the same kit but u have to pay in US$.
