FPGA Development Board Wish List

The AT45DB642D has 64 Mbit in an SO-8 pinout, so that should fit nicely. Should be available in a few weeks.

One nice function I have been thinking of is to have a small controller with USB interface and USB Mass Storage Adapter code. You can get some fast small single chip ARM/Flash devices with USB interface that could download the bitstream to a FAT file system in the dataflash, and then program the FPGA at boot, or when the bitstream is downloaded. The user could then just drag and drop the bitstream to your board to reconfigure the board.

I prefer the SGS-Thomson serial flash (M25P series) - simpler and cheaper than the Atmels last time I looked. Also second-sourced by SST.

I'm not sure about the 500 series, which have HDCP, but Digikey and Newark seem to stock the TFP410PAP transmitter, and the TFP401APZP receiver.

Others will argue, but my general rule-of-thumb for sourcing parts for prototypes or low-volume production is that if you can't get it from Digikey, Mouser, or Newark, it doesn't really exist.

Well I certainly agree on the approach. We use DigiKey sourcing as a good reason to choose a part. We would use RS of Farnell, who we do actually use ocassionally, but their respective websites don't work well for searching a new part of a specific type. Their pricing is also well off production numbers pricing whereas DigiKey is pretty much on the ball. The only weakness in Digikey for us is the 2 days it takes to get here in the UK. Still looks pretty good is it is a late evening order or it isn't a desperate rush.
