The Spartan 3E Starter Board provides a powerful and highly advanced self-contained development platform for designs targeting the Spartan 3E FPGA from Xilinx. It features a 500K gate Spartan 3E FPGA with a 32 bit RISC processor and DDR interfaces.
The board also features a Xilinx Platform Flash, USB and JTAG parallel programming interfaces with numerous FPGA configuration options via the onboard Intel StrataFlash and ST Microelectronics Serial Flash. The board is fully compatible with all versions of the Xilinx ISE tools including the free WebPack. The board ships with a power supply and USB cable for programming so designs can be implemented immediately with no hidden costs. The Spartan 3E Starter board is also compatible with the MicroBlaze Embedded Development Kit (EDK) and PicoBlaze from Xilinx.
