Their authorized distributors page lists two. That will remain so until June. Then Nu H will either have sold their existing stock or will return that stock to Xilinx from what I gather. Also it looks as if Digikey will remain a "regional" partner. I guess Digikeyremains a "partner" due to they will be an outlet for parts and boards and that is all. james

Where other manufacturers have let go of the single distirbution points Xilinx actually shrinks the number of 'dealers'. >Yup. NuH may have to rif around 200 FAEs.

Sure an FAE will make a good engineer? There is a reason some engineers end up in the sales department. -- Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply indicates you are not using the right tools... nico(a)nctdevpuntnl (punt=.) --------------------------------------------------------------
