ARM7 + FPGA development board

One million seems to be quite a lot. If you think you can live with half a million there's Xylo-L

The new development kit for the CAP9 has an AT91 ARM9 augmented with a dedicated interface between the MCU and the FPGA, allowing the FPGA to access most of the internals of the MCU.

I.E: the FPGA can read and write the internal SRAM of the MCU. It can also read and write to the SDRAM connected to the MCU External bus interface, so you can build a design with a shared SDRAM. No need for dual SDRAM banks.

The development kit has a 2 M gate Stratix. There will be a CAP9 + Virtex board coming out later as well as a CAP7 with the ARM7TDMI, but that is not ready yet.

Check out the CAP products on the

any price guidelines on these yet Ulf ?

$3500 as far as I understand, and this is a baseboard and a CPU module with CPU + FPGA + Memory and a large Stratix. I expect that there will be people building boards with Spartan & Cyclone and then pricing will be down in ~ $100-200.

So does that mean Atmel are releasing the External-FPGA parts, as 'available parts' for general design. in both CAP9 and CAP7 families ?
