Posted by Ken Cheung in FPGA-based Product on Wednesday, July 28, 2010

The ZTEX USB FPGA Module 1.11 is a Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA board with USB 2.0 microcontroller and 64 MByte DDR SDRAM. The USB FPGA Module is available now for 109 EUR / 139.52 USD. An open source firmware development kit with platform independent host software API is available for the USB-FPGA-Module. The SDK egnineers to define all USB device descriptors with only a few macro commands. The kit gives developers a quick start into firmware programming.
