Hello. I have an Spartan 3 xc3s400 4tqg144c FPGA. I want to build a FPGA development board for education undergraduate university. Which components do i need to buy? I am a beginner. Thank you.

I’m afraid this is not a beginner project. You would be much better off purchasing a ready made FPGA development board.

It will be obvious why building one is not a DIY project.

Thank you. The page is so useful.

You’re free to order whatever you wish but I still think you would be better off ordering a ready made board.

A DIY attempt to make an FPGA development board will certainly be a learning experience.

Thank you all. I have just a XC3S400-4TQG144C chip and I searched and found that i need at least theses components:

-a Configuration Memory Flash PROM, for example XCF04S

-an High speed asynchronous SRAM 256 kbit, give me an example??

-An EEPROM like AT24C08

-an oscillator

The problem is, which compatible components list should i order?
