FPGA BOARD FOR NEWBIE TO FPGA

[TheRightInfo]

Hi all

I ned an FPGA bord to practice FPGA with VHDL .

That board will hopefully serve me in my first "real" payed FPGA
design projects.

Can you offer me a not so expensive board please ?

Thanks in advance

Its not that simple. different projects will require different FPGAs,
different complexities, different features etc. So unless you plan on
getting paid to do pretty simple designs, you cant really get away
with a single board.

I can recommend one of these:

and one of these to program it:

All the software to do stuff is available online free. The FPGA itself is low-end, but that will probably only be a limitation for big designs.

Note that this board doesn't come with any peripherals (like audio outputs, tv outputs, sd card slots, ethernet, etc.) - you'll need to find a more expensive board for that.
