Hello,
I am a computer engineering student and I am looking to do a project which will require a FPGA or CPLD. I will need something with > 70 general IO pins. I am looking for a development board that will give me an expansion port to plug it into my project. I want something less than $100 perferably less than $50. I am currently considering the CPLD design kit from XILINX which has XC2C256-7TQ144 CoolRunner-II CPLD and XC9572XL-10VQ44 CPLD on it as it seems to be a good starter package. Are there other quick dirty solutions that will allow me to easily program a device and integrate it with my project? I do not need something that has tons of LEDS and pushbuttons and tons of extra proto space.
Thank You Josiah Vivona
