有什么对初学者包的建议吗

使用retro-stuff，您可能需要查看Enterpoint产品：
http://www.enterpoint.co.uk/index.html
包含最新设备的套件的一个问题是不具备5V容限I / O.
你可能需要。
一般来说，您最好的价格选择是查看最新产品
这些都经常得到Xilinx的补贴，希望能够获得最新的设计版本
芯片。
我还建议下载WebPack软件并熟悉
它。
学习使用模拟器。
你可以在没有任何硬件的情况下学到很多东西，尽管不是
建造坚固的东西同样有趣。

Working with retro-stuff you may want to look into the Enterpoint offerings at:

One problem with kits that contain the latest devices is that will not have the 5V tolerant I/O
you may require.  Generally your best bet for price would be to check out the latest offerings
which are often subsidised by Xilinx in hopes of gaining new design-ins for their latest
chips.  I would also suggest downloading the WebPack software and getting familiar with
it.  Learn to use the simulator.  You can learn a lot without any hardware although it's not
quite as much fun as building something solid.

现在所有芯片都转向3.3V。
很难连接到5V ios
我认为Spartan-3AN系列适合您。
这个家庭不需要PROM。
您可能需要找到一些IPcore来制作SCSI控制器



以下为原文

now a days all chips turn to 3.3V. It is hard to connect to 5V ios
And I think the Spartan-3AN family is suit for you. This family do not need PROMs.
And you may need to find some IPcores to make SCSI controller
 

我开始使用Spartan 3E入门套件，然后获得了Spartan 3A入门套件。
我推荐后者，因为它易于使用且价格低廉，并且有大多数类型的A / D转换器，D / A转换器，SPI闪存，串行端口，以太网，USB等，你想要实验
用。
见链接。
我找到的最好的VHDL书籍是Pedroni的“VHDL电路设计”。
见链接。
如果您完成示例并在其上运行测试平台，它将对您有所帮助。
一些具有微小变化的示例将在Starter工具包上运行。
至于部件，Spartan 3AN部件是好的，低成本，并且包括闪存，因此您不需要外部闪存来配置FPGA。
我用过其中的一些。
唯一的缺点是当你自己制作电路板时，除了最小的尺寸外，你必须使用BGA部件。
在推入使用BGA封装之前，像Lattice这样的其他一些制造商的零件具有更多的织物。
但是现在已经用BGA做了一些电路板，它们并没有那么糟糕。
大多数董事会对他们都很好。
Spartan 6即将推出......我对它们很感兴趣，但是当我检查经销商库存时，比如Avnet或Digikey，我发现我在大多数时间里看了26周的交货时间！
所以我建议现在使用Spartan 3AN。

以下为原文

I started off with a Spartan 3E Starter kit then got a Spartan 3A Starter kit.  I would recommend the latter, as it is easy to use and inexpensive, and has most of the kinds of partslike A/D converter, D/A converter, SPI flash, serial ports, Ethernet, USB, etc that you would want to experiment with.  See link.
 
And the best VHDL book I have found is "Circuit Design with VHDL" by Pedroni.  See link.  If you work through the examples, and run the test benches on them, it will help you a lot.  Some of the examples with minor changes will run on the Starter kit.
 
As for parts, the Spartan 3AN parts are good, low cost, and include flash so you do not need an external flash to configure the FPGA.  I have used a few of them.  The only drawback is when you do your own board, you will have to use a BGA part for anything except the smallest sizes.  Some other mfrs like Lattice have parts with more fabric before you are pushed into using a BGA package.  But have done a few boards with BGAs now, and they are not that bad.  Most board houses are fine with them.
 
The Spartan 6 is coming out... I was interested in them, but when I checked distributor stock, like Avnet or Digikey, I found that I was looking at 26 weeks lead time on most of them !  So I would recommend using Spartan  3AN for now.
