CPLD Altera EPM240 (make sure you get the blue board) Ebay: 271520142479 Fpga (2 onboard PLL's) older Cyclone2 , but prob ok. Ebay: 400630255386 Programmer: Ebay: 200943750380 If they could be the heart of the system, then everybody could get started cheap. I'm using Quartus2 on Linux (Mint17) , works ok. But Modelsim needs some extra libs to function. CFO

This thread really makes me want to do an FPGA timing project. I have a Papilio One on hand, which uses the Spartan 3E. But what to do with it? It has to be something much more interesting than what a PicDiv or simple logic can do to make it worth my time. Hmm...
