Howard found an FPGA-based graphics kit board on Xilinx's web site. It's based on a Spartan 2, not much memory, etc. It goes for $1500. I think it's on the avnet site below.
Avnet (avnet.com) makes a bunch of FPGA-based boards. If this URL doesn't work for you, this is under EM Home > Products > Design Resource Center. http://www.em.avnet.com/evk/home/0,1719,RID%253D0%2526CID%253D0%2526CCD%253DUSA%2526SID%253D4742%2526DID%253DDF2%2526LID%253D18806%2526PVW%253D%2526BID%253DDF2%2526CTP%253DEVK,00.html >From this page, I've found some interesting FPGA-based products. One has a small Xilinx and an ACD for over $5000. Another is a Xilinx-based PCI-X board for $1200, but the PCI-X IP core sells for $16000. Isn't that nice. There may be other sections of their site that have other similar products. Anyhow, If anyone's interested, I suggest looking through this site to make comparisons with what's out there. Keep in mind that the FPGA we're using is many times the size of most of the ones on there, not to mention way more memory, etc. I was worried that charging $1000 might be too much. Now I'm starting to worry that it's not enough. If another board with 1/8 the capacity of everything sells for $1500, what should we charge for ours? _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
