Apologies for bumping my old thread, but ....... does anyone in the UK (mainland preferred) want this FPGA board as pictured below (WYSIWYG)?
After an unwelcome downturn in my health, I'm de-cluttering and re-focusing my hobbies in the time I have available and I keep tripping over this thing, which I can't use effectively and I'm just looking for some pennies to play with a CPLD instead.
SOLD Postage to most of the UK is only going to be £10, so does anybody want this for £25+postage, Paypal only? If not, make me an offer? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not 100% sure if this is right for the Buy/Sell section, but it's my best guess
Back in 2008, I bought a Spartan 3E Starter kit (for £134 inc) and played with it for a few days. Never really did anything other than change the wording that scrolled on the LCD.
Now, I'd like to get myself more familiar with FPGA development and I dug out the box to find that this kit was obsoleted in 2011/12 by Xilinx and it's not supported by the latest software. Also, the last version of software that does support it doesn't run on Windows 10 (or Windows 8, or 7). So I'm a bit stuffed. I would rather use Windows because that's my normal development environment at home and work.
I'm looking to buy or trade something similar - well similar capacity if not with exactly all the peripherals etc. - but I have no idea whether or not this bit of kit is worth anything.
It's had almost zero use, and cost a lot (for me anyway) originally, so I'm reluctant to throw it out.
Is it worth anything to anyone here? Open to offers (buy or trade), before I try my luck on eBay. UK only preferably. The pictures show exactly what's there and the last pic shows it working with the configuration which I'd last uploaded. The only thing I can't find is the adapter that converts the universal PSU to a UK power socket.
Alternatively, if anyone can suggest a way I can still use this (believe me, I've tried everywhere and everything, except Linux, which I'd prefer not to do), advice appreciated.
Thanks all
