WTB (UK) FPGA Kits

[CM800]

Looking to buy a few FPGA kits, I rather like Altera so far, I tried Xilinx but not too much of a fan of the IDE, may still be interested though.

PCI / miniPCIe FPGA boards are of great interest especially.

MAX 10 up to Arria II or whatever ones I can use the lite edition of Quartus with.

This is probably not the answer you want...  but I look for PCI testers on ebay.

They are dirt cheap and some have a jtag header.  That one has an old MAX3000 on it.

Are you looking for PCI or PCIe boards?

MESA has them both but all Xilinx I'm afraid (http://mesanet.com/fpgacardinfo.html)

Oh yes, I remember seeing these a while back... I'd love to use Xilinx but im on Windows 10

Can't you use Vivado?, it seems that supports Windows 10

AFAIK it doesn't support Spartan.

thanks for this link, I am going to buy one board
I'd like to use it in my Octane2 workstation with linux
Octane2s come with modified PCI protocol
therefore it's not exactly compatible with intel standards

An ubuntu linux vm should support ISE nicely.

I kinda like special purpose development VMs, as clunky as they are, they can be setup just how the software needs them, and don't get mucked up when you install/uninstall unrelated tools.

I'm using Xilinx ISE (With a Spartan 6) on Windows 10.

I just needed to perform the NOSH fix detailed here:
