Hi,
Does anyone have any SystemACE parts for sale (upto 15 pieces) or know any distributor who has some in stock?
Cheers, Jon

I have never found any disti selling them in small quantity.
its on my DONOTUSE list anyway. And will be obsoleted soon. (Antti's guess)

Obsoleted! I sure hope not. I like the ability to use 'standard' memory cards to configure my FPGA. I also love the ability to store files in a FAT formatted card.
It would be nice if they made a version in a smaller package. Or used SD memory cards instead!
stay tuned. I will introduce one soon. have been working on it. all the nice features. smaller footprint and can be updated.

There are no plans to discontinue the System ACE CF (XCCACE-TQ144) device. In fact we will be introducing the lead free version early next year to meet ROHS design needs.
There are no Xilinx imposed min order quantities (MOQs) on this device and you are able to order these through any of our distributors. Lead times should be on the order of 5-7 weeks after placing the order, putting delivery in early December at this point.

good to know.
but the distributors min quantities are 90 pcs ASFAIK. ..and the sysace is still on my DO NOT use list, because
1 WAY too expensive 2 WAY too hard to get 3 WAY too 'prop' the ACE file format is still 'secret' 4 W AY too 'limited' in terms of flexibility 5 WAY not enough media devices supported 6 WAY too large footprint on PCBAntti
Antti:
Any Pre-release information on your solution??? :-)

unless some new silicon solution becomes available:
1) Lattice LFXP3(or 6) 2) documented standard pinout(s) for several packages 3) specialized IP cores to support different boot media 4) pre-compiled bit streams for common scenariosso basically you look up the 'standard' connection for the config interface and boot media and then design in an Flash FPGA. Later you can either use or precombiled solution or modify it for your application.
At the first step its just agreeing on 'standard' pin mapping for the Flash FPGA that is used as the config engine. As the configurator itself is upgradeable there is nothing that can go wrong. There is some work todo to support different NV media and some JTAG specific stuff, but thats not so complicated actually. Sure for booting from file system the config chip will have some small specialued microcontroller as well.
