Looking for dev board with ethernet and ddr3.
Hi guys, During my studies i worked alot with a digilent spartan 3A board using vhdl, now i want to start using verilog and focus on learning ethernet and ddr3 applications.
As the title says DDR3 and ethernet are a must, any other add would be nice, hdmi and pcie are on the top of my list.
Since i am still an student i am limited to a top of $100ish usd, so i am asking you for help.
Right now i have found some options:
- Artix-7 35T Arty FPGA Evaluation Kit ($99 board + $15 shipping at digilent)
- Artix-35T
- ethernet
- 256 ddr3
- arduino shield connectors
- pmods
- includes vivado license
- Z-turn Board ($99 board + $30 shipping at myir)
- Zynq-7010
- ethernet
- 2x 512 ddr3
- HDMI + lots of things
- needs extra board to get pmod and IO pins.
it seems that Zturn is better but the shipping rates are killing me :(, also i want to use vivado (i am pretty used to ISE) and i dont know if the webpack license is enough to fully use the board, also i am concerned that the board is shown ans a single board computer and i am afraid that i am limited of what i can do.
So, whats your opinion guys?, any other options?
Thanks in advance!
