Hi Folks

I have recently become very interested in FPGA and DSP. Could somebody
suggest to me a newbee started book and also a related experimental board.

I would also like to know the differences between the different Virtex
families like Virtex 2, 4, 5 etc.

Regards
RK

Perhaps the kits from Digilent would be of interest?

http://www.digilentinc.com/

There is also an inexpensive learning board available from Avnet:

A plethora of other vendors offer learning kits. One such vendor can be
found here:

If you are searching for a repository of HDL code, OpenCores works well:

Hi
Yes, I have been to that website, and I see a lot of datasheets
for Virtex-2, 4, 5, 6 etc, but I do not able to get a comprehensive
evolution of the family and the enhancements in sucessive 2, 4, 5 etc
families.
Also, I am looking for a good book along with a board that I can
but and develop some hands on experience.
Visiting www.xilinx.com results in an information overload for
a beginner.

Regards
RK

Some reputedly good books and resources on Verilog/VHDL and FPGA
programming can also be found here:
