-SPARTACUS FPGA BOARD WITH ETHERNET DAUGHTER BOARD- BRAND NEW, SPARTAN-3 200K GATE FPGA BOARD & SPARTACUS-EXTENSION DAUGHTER BOARD, * Xilinx Spartan3 FPGA chip on board, XC3S200-4 VQ100 Companion XCF02 2Mbit platform flash256KByte (2Mbit) flash rom memory for code/program storage32KByte (256Kbit) SRAM memory for data/stack storage25MHZ clock generatorUSB serial port and configuration system for fast system upgrade and downloads 49 user ports organized as 3 breadboard-friendly headers1 user led and 1 user buttonJTAG->XCF02->XC3S200 chain500mA 2.5V, 1A 1.2V and 2A 3.3V LDO regulatorsUSB powered design eliminates need for external supplyXilinx Webpack compatible * Applications include HDL learning and experimentation and microcontroller systems The usb powered FPGA board brings the best out of logic devices. It will work out from the box. And you get a 200K gate spartan-3 FPGA. It also includes 256Kbit SRAM and 2Mbit Flash types memories. The supplied software with its intuitive interface makes on-board memory configuration a breeze. You will also get to download your design into the FPGA in a split second thanks to the USB interface. The platform is well suited for embedded 8-bit controller applications as it contains byte organized memories while the supplied configuration prom allows a fully autonomous system. A last word, the system is ideal for computers lacking a parallel port. DAUGHTER BOARD SPECIFICATIONS: * 10Mbit ethernet interface (RTL8019AS) 12bit onboard temperature sensor24 characters X 1 line LCD display 8 bit dip switch, 8 bit led display, 3 push buttonsterminating/protective resistorsbuilt-in voltage regulator, works with wall mount adapter * Opencore 8-bit CPU design with hardware drivers for the LCD and the onboard peripheralsVery simple hardware interface, peripherals are presented as a register file Hardware co-processor increases overall performance of system, LCD commands are fifo bufferedBuilt in bus arbiter avoids bus contention and provides maximum throughput of the system bus * Supplied with working examples; source file in VHDL * Autonomous embedded system, works as a full-featured 8-bit webserverOpen source UIP tcp-ip stack with RTL8019AS driversProvided Win32 software will generate file system and makes it easy to create custom web pagesC project supplied, shows the integration of a complete webserver * Source code and CPU is compatible with free C compiler * Will work fuss-free, out from the box * Straight integration to the Spartacus Codemanager environment The daugther board will give additional functionality to the Spartacus FPGA board. When used together, they will perform mainly as a webserver capable of live information transmission to a client PC on the WWW. The user is also capable of upgrading the reference design at will, adding custom made peripherals. The use of an FPGA as the main logic device provides the flexibility required to do quick hardware prototyping. The USB port makes software upgrades smooth. The daughter board also serves as an extension to the FPGA chip providing an LED display, dip switches, push buttons and an LCD screen to the original design.
