fpga quickstart - best learning resource recommendations

[fvnktion]

Hi There,

I have a project that will require the use of lower power fpga's (actel
which will require interfacing cmos camera, RAM, SD card, micro and othe
peripherals. The project's end focus to be able to stream video and save i
into sd memory.

I have done very little with fpga's. I am familiar with the HDL flow an
have coded a little in VHDL. I need to get up to speed as quickly a
possible and would like to get any useful recommendations on resources fo
doing this. I would love to hear of any recommended resource books, guides
dev boards, etc. that you think would be a good fit given my requirements.

Thanks for the tips!

The quickest way to get up2speed is to go on a VHDL course, there are some
excellent courses from Doulos, Esperan, Mentor, Synthwork etc. They are not
cheap but I suspect your time is more expensive (unless you are a student .

Good luck,
