Xilinx FPGA spartan6 XC6SLX25 FPGA board

[FlyingDutch]

Hello,
has anybody experience with this cheap board based on Spartan6 (XC6SLX25) from AliExpress.com - here is link to it:

I would like to try project with vintage "Nintendo NES" game console. Here is "Github" repository with code for this project:

https://github.com/Saanlima/Pepino/tree/master/Projects/Pepino_NES_smb

I tried to synthesis this code and it takes many of FPGA resourcers (LUTs ,FF, Block-RAM) - the smallest FPGA chip meets this number of resources is Spartan6 XC6SLX25. Project is in "Xilinx ISE" and contains many of "ISE IP-Cores" so I wouldn't try to implement it on Xilinx 7 series FPGAs (Spartan7 or Artix7) which is required "Xilinx Viavado". Any comments related to mentioned board will be warmly Welcome. Especially I be grateful for schematics and "User constraint" file example for ISE.

Best regards

You are aware that Vivado has support for migration of ISE projects and legacy IP? There's a detailed user guide.

Hi, I didn't try this possibility yet, but maybe it is time to try

Best Regards
