FPGA-evaluation boards come with design software

Altium’s NanoBoard 3000 embedded-system-development platform includes a board with an FPGA chip, an IR remote control, and a 12-month license for Altium Designer schematic and FPGA software. Boards are available for Altera Cyclone III, Lattice ECP2, and Xilinx Spartan-3AN FPGAs, and come with royalty-free IP for functions such as a USB interface, a TCP/IP stack, a touchscreen, a PS2 controller, and SVGA capability.

The units include three USB ports; an SVGA D-sub connection; eight RGB (red/green/blue) LEDs; and a 2.4-in., 320×230-pixel LCD with touchscreen.
